While the current Maryland team was playing in a sloppy-but-exciting Quick Lane Bowl, former Terps were making their mark at the next level. Two helped their respective teams wrap up division titles, while others got closer to single-season milestones.
Nolan Carroll, CB, Philadelphia Eagles
Carroll played what may have been his best game of the season Thursday, making six tackles and deflecting a pass in a 24-19 win over the Giants. He made a huge play late in the fourth quarter, knocking the ball away from wide receiver Sterling Shepard on a 4th-and-6.
