    BATON ROUGE – LSU led all colleges with 38 players on NFL opening weekend rosters, the league office announced on Wednesday.

    The 38 active NFL players in week one put the Tigers ahead of Southern Cal (37), Alabama (36), Georgia (34) and Florida (33).

    LSU also led the NFL in number of defensive tackles with six and was tied for most defensive backs with nine. LSU has two active punters in the NFL, which ties with Miami and Tennessee for the most in the league.

    LSU’s active NFL list will increase to 40 this week as former wide receiver Dwayne Bowe returns from a one-game suspension and linebacker Kelvin Sheppard has been added to the Miami Dolphins roster after getting released by the Indianapolis Colts two weeks ago.

    The following is a list of colleges with most players on active NFL rosters for week 1:

    School - Active Players on Week 1 Rosters
    LSU - 38
    Southern Cal - 37
    Alabama - 36
    Georgia - 34
    Florida - 33
    Florida State - 33
    Miami - 31
    California - 29
    Ohio State - 29
    Notre Dame - 28
    Tennessee - 28
    Wisconsin - 27

    Saw that John Abraham called it quits today? Didn't Ari recently let go of a former Tiger LB? Bet they call him back.

    For those who like to rag on the DL, 6 LSU players currently play on the NFL DL... more than any other school. Same with DBs at 8.

    That is one hell of a play! I like how he just stuck one paw out - would not have been a roughing penalty had he missed.

    Reuben Randle just made a nifty one-hand TD grab.
