Syracuse Football: Ryan Nassib is Just Sixth Orange Alum to Throw NFL Touchdown Pass

When the New York Giants' Ryan Nassib connected with reserve wide receiver Myles White for a 25-yard garbage time touchdown last night, it was significant as the former Syracuse Orange QB's first passing TD as a pro. What you might not have known is that it was also significant for SU football too.

By tallying his first throwing touchdown in the NFL, Nassib became just the sixth Syracuse alum to accomplish said feat -- a surprisingly low number, when you think about the amount of Orange players that have made it to the league.
