ORLANDO – The Knights in the NFL completed Week Two of the 2019 season this weekend, as 11 former UCF football players saw action, including two starters who led their teams to victory in Clayton Geathers and Shaquill Griffin.
Geathers, a captain for the Indianapolis Colts, recorded three tackles as the team's starting safety. The Colts won 19-17, shutting out the Tennessee Titans 6-0 in the fourth quarter to earn the road victory and improve to 1-1 on the season.
Griffin and his brother Shaquem both played roles in the Seattle Seahawks' 28-26 road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Shaquill finished with four tackles as a starting cornerback at Heinz Field, a stadium the current Knights will play in this weekend, taking on Pitt Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ABC.
