K.J. Britt and Marlon Davidson were once teammates at Auburn, wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. This past week, they each showed out at the NFL level.
That and more in this week's Auburn Made NFL rundown.
BEST OF WEEK 15
K.J. Britt, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Britt had his second straight stellar performance for Tampa Bay on Sunday in a 34-20 win at Lambeau Field. The third-year linebacker started for the third straight week and followed up his eight-tackle performance last week against the Falcons with six tackles and a QB pressure against Green Bay. He registered a 76.6 PFF grade, fourth highest on the defense, and continues to demand more snaps and a starting position.
Easy to watch the tape and get excited about the stability KJ Britt brings next to Lavonte.

Never out of position, hasn't missed a tackle in 2 starts, good processor, aggressive to attack vs the run, active in coverage w/ good awareness. Very sharp last 2 weeks. pic.twitter.com/fQrNWQnbjZ
Marlon Davidson, DL, Tennessee Titans
In only his second week playing for the Titans, Davidson made his presence felt with two tackles and the second sack of his career against the Houston Texans on Sunday. It was his first sack since September 2021 with the Falcons. Davidson, active for the second straight week, has done a solid job filling in for a short-handed Tennessee defense.
Roger McCreary, CB, Tennessee Titans
McCreary continues to prove why he is one of the staples for the Tennessee defense. The former second-round pick tallied seven tackles – all solo, matching his season high in solo tackles. He also had a tackle for loss and a pass break-up in Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans. His PFF grade (76.0) was second best on the Titans' defense.
Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants
Slayton once again led the Giants in receiving Sunday at New Orleans. He was targeted a season high eight times and hauled in four catches for 63 yards. His longest reception of the day came on a fourth-and-10 late in the game where he picked up 33 yards. It was the fifth time this season Slayton has gone over 50 yards receiving in a game.
