A total of 21 Bruin football alums were in action this past weekend for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Standout performances from that group included second-year defensive end Laiatu Latu with the Indianapolis Colts, placekicker Kai'imi Fairbairn with the Houston Texans and running back Zach Charbonnet with the Seattle Seahawks.
Latu recorded his first-career interception in a dominant 33-8 win over the Miami Dolphins. Fairbairn scored all nine points for Houston with three field goals from 45-plus yards out. Charbonnet was the first Seahawk to find the endzone this season, barreling through the goal line for a one-yard TD rush.
• Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seattle Seahawks – Scored Seattle's lone touchdown in a 17-13 setback against the San Francisco 49ers. Charbonnet led the Seahawks in both touches (12) and rushing yards (47), punching it in from the 1-yard line early in the second quarter to tie the game at 7-7. It marked career rushing touchdown No. 10 for Charbonnet.
