INDIANAPOLIS – If there’s such thing as a “rookie wall” in the NFL, Jonathan Newsome easily knocked it down.
Going from the collegiate game one season (typically around 12 games) to the NFL level the next (could be around 20 games including preseason/postseason) can be daunting.
Newsome doesn’t shy away from the moment though and certainly did not when the 2014 season dragged on.
In the second half of 2014, Newsome recorded three multi-sack games in helping him finish his rookie campaign with a team-leading 6.5 sacks.
NFL season No. 2 is on the horizon for the Ball State product and expectations have risen.
