— Arkansas could have as many as nine former players on rosters for the NFL Playoffs, which begin this weekend.

Here is a look at each player and how he performed during the regular season.

Alex Collins, RB, Seattle Seahawks

The rookie Collins has been part of a three-man rotation in Seattle this season. He has 31 carries for 125 yards and 1 touchdown, and also has 84 receiving yards this season.

The Seahawks are scheduled to host the Lions on Saturday at 7:15 p.m.

Knile Davis, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Davis spent time with three different teams during the course of 18 days during the season before rejoining the Chiefs, the team that cut him in mid-October. He only has 13 carries on offense, but has nine kickoff returns for 189 yards.

The Chiefs are the No. 2 seed in the AFC and won't play this weekend.

Trey Flowers, DE, New England Patriots

Flowers started half of New England's games and became one of the team's best pass rushers in his second season. He has seven sacks and two fumble recoveries this season for New England, and 45 tackles overall.

The Patriots are the No. 1 seed in the AFC and won't play this weekend.

Brett Goode, LS, Green Bay Packers

Goode rejoined the Packers in September after an ACL tear caused the team to cut him the year before. The 9-year Green Bay veteran has played in all 16 games this season.

The Packers are scheduled to host the Giants on Sunday at 3:40 p.m.

Cobi Hamilton, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Hamilton has emerged as a big-play threat in Pittsburgh's offense with 17 catches for 234 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also has five kickoff returns.

The Steelers are scheduled to host the Dolphins on Sunday at noon. Hamilton scored his first career touchdown in a 30-15 loss to Miami earlier this season.

Denver Kirkland, OL, Oakland Raiders

Kirkland found a niche for the Raiders after being signed as an undrafted free agent last spring. He started four times and played in two more games as the team's sixth offensive lineman in power formations. But he has been inactive for four of Oakland's past six games, including three straight.

The Raiders are scheduled to play the Texans on Saturday at 3:35 p.m.

Darren McFadden, RB, Dallas Cowboys

McFadden didn't join the Cowboys' active roster until November after suffering an offseason elbow injury. He has taken a backseat to Dallas' rookie phenom Ezekiel Elliott and has just 87 yards on 24 carries.

The Cowboys are the No. 1 seed in the NFC and won't play this weekend.

Travis Swanson, C, Detroit Lions

Swanson started the first 12 games for Detroit, but has been on concussion protocol since early December. He reportedly returned to the Lions' practice last week but only on a limited basis. It is unclear whether he will play in Detroit's playoff opener at Seattle.

Robert Thomas, DT, New York Giants

New York is Thomas' sixth franchise in three NFL seasons. He was signed by the Giants off waivers in September and has five tackles as a backup in eight games.
