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 18 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.

Seven former Rebels started for their respective teams in week eight. QB Eli Manning had a career day at the office tossing six touchdowns, while Kendrick Lewis and Trumaine McBride had good days on the defensive side of the ball. A former Rebel accounted for all seven of the New York Giants' touchdowns in a wild and wacky game in New Orleans.
