South Dakotans in the NFL, Week 13

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Isaiah Davis hasn't been given a ton of opportunities in his rookie season with the New York Jets, but he scored his first NFL touchdown on Sunday, catching a pass from future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers and taking it in for a 4-yard score. With the Jets skidding to the finish line (they've already fired coach Robert Saleh and Rodgers may be wearing out his welcome), perhaps the former Jackrabbit will see more chances down the stretch.

Whatever happens, Davis is on the board as a pro, and will go down in history as the man who caught Aaron Rodgers' 494th career touchdown pass.

Here's how the rest of the NFL's South Dakotans did in Week 13.
