Texas A&M has several players on the field during the opening week of the 2026 NFL season. Week 1 featured players debuting with new teams, rookies experiencing regular-season action and established veterans making an impact.
One of the biggest moments came in Melbourne, Australia, where Mike Evans scored his first touchdown for the San Francisco 49ers . After spending 11 seasons with Tampa Bay , Evans opened his latest chapter by catching six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in San Francisco's 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams .
That same game featured Myles Garrett making his Rams debut after arriving in one of the offseason's biggest trades. Garrett did not have the performance he wanted , but seeing the former Texas A&M star wearing a different uniform was still one of the notable sights from the opening weekend.
Edgerrin Cooper made his presence felt for the Green Bay Packers , finishing with seven tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack. The former Aggie continues to establish himself as one of the NFL's rising young linebackers.
Week 1 also marked the beginning of several professional careers. KC Concepcion made his regular-season debut with Cleveland , while Cashius Howell and Nate Boerkircher also saw their first NFL action . De'Von Achane, Von Miller and several other former Aggies returned for another season, giving Texas A&M fans familiar names to follow every week.
Check out the best photos of former Texas A&M players from Week 1 of the NFL season.
