With 41 players on NFL rosters on opening day, USC ranked second in terms of producing pro talent. See how former Trojans fared in the NFL this past week:

• Carolina Panthers center Ryan Kalil (Panthers were beat up against Atlanta, 31-17. Run game was effective — 25 attempts for 142 yards and two scores — but Cam Newton struggled)

• Atlanta Falcons offensive tackle Sam Baker (Baker and his comrades on Atlanta’s line kept Ryan upright all but once. Michael Turner had a splendid day, rushing for 139 yards on 27 carries).

• Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Fili Moala (1 tackle, lost to Cincy 27-17)

• Indianapolis cornerback Kevin Thomas

• Cincinnati Bengals safety Taylor Mays (1 tackle)

• Cincinnati linebacker Rey Maualuga
