Maryland Football: Former Terps shine in Week 3 of NFL season

The Maryland football program has several talented players in the NFL ranks these days.

Several former Terrapins were on display on Sunday and had quite a bit of success.

Former coach Ralph Friedgen had a knack for putting players in the NFL. During his tenure, 25 Terps were selected in the NFL Draft with three of those being first round picks.

Vernon Davis (No. 6 overall), Darrius Heyward-Bey (No. 7), and Shawne Merriman (No. 12) were the three highest drafted players of the Friedgen era.

Ironically, Davis was one of the players that excelled on Sunday.
