Four former Marshall football players made impacts on their NFL teams this weekend.
All four players happen to play on the defensive side of the ball with at least one player at each level of the defense.
Starting in the secondary, rookie cornerback Chris Jackson played significant minutes for the Tennessee Titans on Monday night in a win against the Denver Broncos.
Because normal starting corner Adoree’ Jackson was inactive, Jackson was afforded the opportunity to split time with fellow rookie Kristian Fulton at the corner spot opposite Malcolm Butler.
When veteran corner Jonathan Joseph left the game with an injury, Jackson was forced into a larger than anticipated role.
