Wolf Pack in NFL: Rishard Matthews scores for newborn son

During the season, we will track how the Wolf Pack alums in the NFL do each week, in addition to any local high school players in the NFL. Here is a look at their performances in week one.

* WR Rishard Matthews, Dolphins: After a poor 2014, Matthews had a strong first game in 2015. He caught four passes for 34 yards, including a 3-yard score – the fifth of his career – that put the Dolphins ahead 10-7. He rocked the ball to sleep as a touchdown celebration to honor his newborn son, Zayden.

* LB Brandon Marshall, Broncos: After dedicating his season to his grandfather, who passed away this summer, Marshall returned from offseason foot surgery and had a beastly game: seven tackles, one sack, three tackles for loss and one quarterback hurry in a 19-13 win over the Ravens.
