ORLANDO – While the UCF football team was off from competition, a total of nine former Knights saw action in Week 5 of the NFL season this weekend, including five that started games.
Gabriel Davis, who earned the second start of his young professional career, grabbed a career-high five receptions for 58 yards and would have had a touchdown reception if not for a penalty by Buffalo. His Bills fell to the Titans on a rare Tuesday night NFL game this week.
Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin matched up with Mike Hughes as the Seahawks defeated the Vikings 27-26 this weekend. Shaquill totaled eight tackles and had two pass break-ups, while Hughes had a break-up of his own, as both started at cornerback for their respective teams.
