Here at OleMissSports.com, we are proud to update Rebel fans on the exploits of our former players who lace up their cleats on Sundays in the NFL. Ole Miss has a big presence in the NFL again this year with 17 former Rebels currently on NFL rosters, including stars like two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and other Super Bowl Rebels Michael Oher of the Carolina Panthers and Brandon Bolden of the New England Patriots.
Six former Rebels earned starting roles for their respective teams in week five. QB Eli Manning continued to light up the gridiron tossing a Giants' franchise-record 41 completions for over 400 yards while Kendrick Lewis had a strong day on the defensive side of the ball for the Ravens.
