This weekend was historic in so many lives around the NFL as the players got to experience what the 100th year of the NFL will bring! Let’s see what the Cats did in the 2019 NFL debut!

Benny Snell

Benny Snell is all in for the Steelers.

In an interview after his game against the Buccs, Snell had this to say about his NFL debut:

“I feel like it was a pretty good game. I think I did a good job on all four of the special teams that I was on. My opportunities that presented itself on offense, I felt like I tried to fall forward on my runs, stay solid in pass protection.”

Also, look here for an interview the NFL posted to Twitter on what he think’s it’ll be like in the first few games as a Steeler:

Josh Allen

Another Cat that saw his first NFL game in his rookie season was Josh Allen.

It also did not take him long to record his first-ever tackle in the NFL…

At the post-game press conference, Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach, Doug Marrone, said with a grin on his face that overall, Allen played a great game.

“He was really strong, and got to the backfield. Just any of those defensive-lineman that come out of college plays in a different combination of blocks that they’re going to see. In college it’s spread and on the edge but now they get covered up by a tight-end or a wing or a tackle and a tight-end,” Marrone also said; “I thought he looked strong out there and was running around, pursuit was good. I feel really good where he is.”
