Another Northwestern reunion commenced this weekend in the NFL, with the Cleveland Browns squaring off against the Green Bay Packers. Combined, these two squads are home to six former ‘Cats. Yet, out West is where Northwestern alumni were making headlines once again.
With Austin Ekeler out against the Texans, JJTBC emerged as the Bolts’ leading rusher for the second week in a row. On Sunday, the four-year pro rushed 11 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns. The Wildcat Connection™ between Jackson and left tackle Rashawn Slater was on full display, with Slater’s blocking creating a hole for the running back’s first score.
