Penn State Football: Jack Crawford posts career year in 2018

It’s been a career of constant progress for Atlanta Falcons’ defensive lineman Jack Crawford. After a successful Penn State football career where he racked up 85 total tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks, he was selected in the fifth round by the Oakland Raiders.

After two seasons where he didn’t quite find his stride, he was released with just 19 career tackles. His career did a 180-degree turn in Dallas, showing he could be a nice pass rusher with 54 tackles and 9.5 sacks over the next three years.

His most recent stop is where his career took the next step forward to becoming a playmaker.
