Frogs In The League: Week 1

TCU currently has 14 players either on a practice squad or an active roster. Not only did the Horned Frogs have a first round draft pick in Jason Verrett earlier this year, but they also had a member of the 2014 Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, Clint Greshman. Each week the FOW will break down each of the players starting with our former quarterback, Andy Dalton...

Andy Dalton (QB):

Dalton lead the Cincinnati Bengals to an opening week victory on the road versus the Baltimore Ravens 23-16. With a late 4th quarter touchdown throw to A.J. Green, the Bengals were able to pull out a close one. Dalton was 25 of 38 for 301 yards and no interceptions.

Marcus Cannon (OT):

Cannon got the start at offensive tackle for the New England Patriots in an opening loss against Miami. Cannon started 6 games last season.

Tank Carder (LB):

Carder saw some action for the Cleveland Browns where they nearly pulled off a great comeback against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He appeared in 15 of 16 games in 2013.

Clint Gresham (LS):

Gresham was the long snapper in the Seattle Seahawks opening win over the Green Bay Packers. Pretty good start to the season for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Hawthorne had a strong game at linebacker for the New Orleans Saints. He recorded 8 tackles in the overtime lose versus the Atlanta Falcons.
