'Noles in the NFL: Week 1 recap on FSU stars in the pros

Each week this season, we'll post a complete list of NFL 'Noles and recap how they fared, including snap counts and advanced statistics measuring lineman and defenders.

All told, there are currently 29 former FSU standouts on NFL rosters. That list doesn't include a number of players who are either on practice squads or could catch on during the season, like running back Devonta Freeman.

Here is a look at how each NFL 'Nole performed during week one.

One of the biggest storylines of the NFL in week one, regardless of FSU affiliation, was the superb play of New Orleans quarterback Jameis Winston.

Winston not only led the Saints to a dominating 38-3 win over the defending NFC Championship participant Green Bay Packers, he tossed five touchdowns against zero turnovers. He capped off his extremely efficient afternoon with a perfectly thrown, 55-yard bomb for his fifth touchdown.

Elsewhere, former FSU defensive back standouts Jalen Ramsey and Derwin James both led their respective teams in tackles. Also, FSU's crop of rookies made their debut this week: Joshua Kaindoh, Asante Samuel Jr. and Hamsah Nasirildeen.

Check out the full stats from each 'Nole who saw action this week below.
