Didinger: History Repeats Itself

When Jordan Hicks, who unfortunately played in his last game of the season after being placed on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, picked off Matt Cassel's pass and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown, it was the first time an Eagles rookie scored on an interception return since 1969. That day it was a safety named Bill Bradley who made the play. Here is the interesting part:

Hicks and Bradley both played their college football at the University of Texas. What's more, both were third-round draft picks by the Eagles. Both interceptions were against the Dallas Cowboys and both occurred in Texas.
