How former Arizona Wildcats fared in Week 5 of NFL season

Another NFL Sunday has concluded. Here’s how all former Arizona Wildcats around the league fared in Week 5 of the NFL season.

Gary Brightwell, RB, New York Giants

Brightwell finally broke through Sunday, scoring a game-tying touchdown in the New York Giants’ 27-22 comeback win over Green Bay in London.

On second-and-goal with over 10 minutes remaining in the game, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones handed the ball off to Brightwell, who powered into the end zone for the score. It was Brightwell’s first touchdown of his NFL career.

The former sixth round pick has played sparingly for the Giants through five games this season, but the touchdown Sunday should give New York coaches more confidence in Brightwell’s ability to come in for Saquon Barkley.
