Pro Dawgs Week 1: Shaq Thompson Shows Out

After being forced to endure two of the most horrific weekends of football in recent memory, Washington Husky fans finally got to take a break from their gridiron hardships with the arrival of the NFL’s regular season.

In the season-opening matchup between the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys, former Legion Of Zoom member Jaydon Mickens received praise from famed NBC commentators Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth as he returned 3 kicks for a total of 92 yards and 2 punts for 21 yards. In that game, Vita Vea also left the broadcast marveling despite not recording a stat, and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka impressed Twitter while also recording 2 tackles in his NFL debut.
