Former Pitt quarterback Ben DiNucci debuts in NFL with Dallas Cowboys

Former Pitt quarterback Ben DiNucci made his NFL debut on Sunday night as his Dallas Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 23-9.

I know that many Pitt fans will not care about DiNucci getting an NFL start in the slightest. But I was sufficiently intrigued and watched his performance Sunday night. Like other Pitt fans that probably watched, I was really curious as to how DiNucci would do.

I was surprised that DiNucci was a 7th round draft pick but I was floored that he actually made a roster. I based this on nothing more than what we saw from him at Pitt before he transferred to James Madison, where he finished his collegiate career.
