Syracuse Football: Keys to Zaire Franklin, Chris Slayton earning more PT

As the NFL enters the final quarter of the season, we look at several former Syracuse football players in the NFL this week and some players that haven’t seen much action.

To recap the Orange on current NFL rosters are Chandler Jones, Justin Pugh, Riley Dixon, and Zaire Franklin. Both Jones and Pugh are on the Arizona Cardinals and had a week off to prepare for the rest of the year.

Former Syracuse punter, Riley Dixon, had one of his best performances of the season against the Chicago Bears.

For the Giants, Dixon booted the ball deep five times.
