While several of Alabama's top former players and regulars on this list had bye weeks this past week, there were still multiple standouts among Crimson Tide alums from the NFL's Week 6 slate of games.
A former Alabama quarterback remains among the league's best, while two receivers had big days and a pair of linebackers made big impacts in close low-scoring wins as well on defense.
As bye weeks start ramping up over the next few weeks, there will be a lot of different names on the standout list. With that being said, here are the Week 6 standouts among Alabama alums in the NFL.
Bryce Young, Quarterback - Carolina Panthers
The Panthers returned from their bye week with a 25-14 win over the Eagles. It was not Young's best outing of the season, but he still did enough to help lead Carolina to victory.
Young was 20-of-39 passing for 281 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. In Week 6, Young had the sixth-most passing yards in the NFL and was one of just three players with 250+ yards, multiple passing touchdowns, and no interceptions for the week. For the season, Young is the only quarterback in the league averaging 300 passing yards per game.
Germie Bernard, Wide Receiver - Pittsburgh Steelers
Rookie receiver Germie Bernard continues to come on strong for the Steelers as he helped lead them to a 26-19 win over the Buccaneers. Bernard finished with 11 catches for 87 yards and scored his first career touchdown. Bernard tied for the third most receptions in the league this week with Steelers teammate DK Metcalf. Over the last two weeks, Bernard has 17 catches for 167 yards.
DeVonta Smith, Wide Receiver - Philadelphia Eagles
Even with Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee starting, DeVonta Smith still had a productive day (even in defeat as the Eagles fell to the aforementioned Panthers 25-14). In the game, Smith had seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown. For the season, Smith has 26 catches for 310 yards in four games.
Mack Wilson Sr., Linebacker - Arizona Cardinals
Mack Wilson backed up his offseason comments about the Rams as the Cardinals knocked off Los Angeles, 18-16. Wilson finished with a team-leading nine tackles, four of which were solo stops. The Cardinals' defense held the high-powered Rams offense to just 16 points and 286 yards. That marked the Rams lowest yardage output and second-lowest scoring output of the season.
Que Robinson, Linebacker - Denver Broncos
Second-year linebacker Que Robinson helped the Broncos pick up a big 17-14 overtime win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Robinson finished with four tackles and a sack. Robinson's sack came on third and long on the Seahawks opening drive of the game to force a Seattle punt.
