Here's a look at how the 26 former Auburn players on active rosters fared this past weekend in Week 2 of the NFL season.
BEST OF WEEK 2
Peyton Barber, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After scoring five touchdowns a season ago, Barber found the end zone for the first time in 2019 with a 16-yard run that put Tampa Bay in front late in the third quarter. The fourth-year back finished with 82 yards on 23 carries as the Buccaneers outlasted the Carolina Panthers, 20-14. Through the first two weeks, Barber has rushed for 115 yards and also added three catches for 19 yards.

Kerryon Johnson, RB, Detroit Lions
Like Barber, Johnson also scored his first touchdown of the 2019 season with a 36-yard receiving score late in the first half of Sunday's game. The second-year running back, who earned his ninth career start, had 41 yards rushing and 47 yards receiving to help the Lions knock off the Los Angeles Chargers, 13-10.

Jonathan Jones, CB, New England Patriots
Jones is quickly becoming one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. The fourth-year player recorded his second straight in New England's 43-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins and finished with fourth tackles and a pass deflection. Through two games, Jones ranks as the best player at his position with a PFF grade of 90.8.
OTHER TIGERS IN THE NFL
Montravius Adams, DT, Green Bay Packers
Adams earned the start for the second straight week and finished with one tackle in Green Bay's 21-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The third-year player now has three career starts and 25 career appearances for the Packers.
Daren Bates, LB Tennessee Titans
Playing primarily on special teams (22 snaps), Bates recorded his lone tackle in punt coverage during the fourth quarter as the Titans fell to the Indianapolis Colts, 19-17. He's now made a tackle in each of the team's first two games.
Angelo Blackson, DL, Houston Texans
Starting at defensive end for the second consecutive week, Blackson was everywhere Sunday as he recorded two solo tackles and two assisted tackles in Houston's 13-12 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The four combined tackles set a new career mark for the fifth-year player.
Daniel Carlson, K, Oakland Raiders
Carlson remained perfect on the season as he made his only field goal from 29 yards out and his lone PAT in a 28-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The second-year kicker is now 2 for 2 on field goals this year and 17 of 18 since joining the Raiders midway through last season.
Chandler Cox, FB, Miami Dolphins
Though Cox didn't receive another start this week, the rookie fullback doubled his snap total from Week 1. He didn't have any stats, though, as the Dolphins lost to the New England Patriots.
Carlton Davis, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The fast start to the 2019 season continued for Davis, who started for the second straight week and finished with a career high seven tackles along with two pass deflections to help the Buccaneers take down the Carolina Panthers, 20-14, on Thursday night. The second-year cornerback now has 10 tackles through two games, and he also recovered a fumble last week.
Jamel Dean, CB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A second-round pick this past April, Dean played 17 snaps on special teams and didn't record any stats as the Buccaneers beat the Carolina Panthers, 20-14, on Thursday night.
Dee Ford, LB, San Francisco 49ers
Ford left Sunday's game against the Bengals after re-aggravating a knee injury from the offseason. The Pro Bowler from a year ago recorded one tackle before leaving the game, and his status is questionable for next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers.
Rudy Ford, DB, Philadelphia Eagles
Ford played exclusively on special teams in a 24-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. The third-year safety was traded to Philadelphia from the Arizona Cardinals shortly before the season began.
Josh Harris, LS, Atlanta Falcons
Harris, now in his eighth season in the NFL, served as the team's long snapper in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. It was his 109th appearance for the Falcons.
Devaroe Lawrence, DL, Cleveland Browns
Lawrence jumped from 11 to 26 snaps on defense this week, though he did not record a statistic in Cleveland's 23-3 win over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. The third-year player signed a new contract with Browns following last season.
Carl Lawson, DE, Cincinnati Bengals
Lawson played on 27 snaps and finished with one tackle in Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It was his second game back since suffering a season-ending ACL injury in Week 8 last season.
Cassanova McKinzy, LB, Washington Redskins
A week after recording his first NFL sack, McKinzy didn't record any stats in a loss to the Cowboys. He played 11 snaps on defense and 12 on special teams.
Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers
On Thursday night, Newton was 25 of 51 through the air for 333 yards in a 20-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through two games, Newton ranks 12th in the NFL with 572 passing yards.
Greg Robinson, OL, Cleveland Browns
Robinson started at left tackle and played all 69 snaps on offense as the Browns defeated the New York Jets, 23-3, on Monday Night Football. Through the first two weeks, Pro Football Focus has Robinson graded as the 29th-rated offensive tackle.
Dontavius Russell, DT, Jacksonville Jaguars
In the second game of his NFL career, Russell played on two snaps and failed to record a statistic in Jacksonville's 13-12 loss to the Houston Texans. The rookie defensive lineman was taken in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL draft.
Chad Slade, OL, New York Giants
Slade did not play in the Week 2 tilt against the Buffalo Bills. The fifth-year offensive lineman signed with the Giants following last season.
Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants
Slayton, a fifth-round selection in the 2019 NFL draft, is currently out with a hamstring injury and did not play in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Braden Smith, OL, Indianapolis Colts
Smith made his 16th straight start at right tackle for the Colts on Sunday. The second-year player helped protect quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who threw for 146 yards and three touchdowns in a 19-17 win over the Tennessee Titans. Pro Football Focus has Smith graded as the 20th rated offensive tackle through the first two weeks.
Jarrett Stidham, QB, New England Patriots
After an excellent preseason as a rookie, Stidham was named the primary backup to Tom Brady. The fourth-round pick did not record a snap in New England's 43-0 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Neiko Thorpe, CB, Seattle Seahawks
Thorpe, now in his seventh NFL season and fourth with the Seahawks, sat out Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with a hamstring injury he sustained the week before.
C.J. Uzomah, TE, Cincinnati Bengals
After setting a new career high in receiving yards the week before, Uzomah earned the start again Sunday but was not targeted as the Bengals fell to the San Francisco 49ers, 41-17. The fifth-year tight end played 42 snaps on offense and seven on special teams.
Jermaine Whitehead, S, Cleveland Browns
Whitehead made his second straight start and the fourth of his career and finished with six tackles, including five solo stops, in a 23-3 over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. He played on all 68 snaps for the defense.
