Terps in the NFL: Week four highlighted by Chigoziem Okonkwo’s first NFL touchdown

Many former Terps in the NFL were very productive in week four, but the week was highlighted by former Maryland tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo hauling in his first NFL touchdown.

The Tennessee Titans rookie finally had his breakout game in the NFL on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Okonkwo, a 2022 fourth-round pick, was targeted three times and caught three passes for 38 yards, including his first career touchdown, while playing 24% of offensive snaps. He ran a crossing route right in front of the end zone and managed to split through two Colts to break the plane.
