A former Clemson safety got his second career pick on Sunday in Week 10 of the NFL season – and he got one from a future Hall of Famer who doesn’t throw many of them.
Former Tiger and current Los Angeles Chargers rookie R.J. Mickens intercepted Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the Chargers’ 25-10 win over the Steelers on Sunday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
Mickens nabbed the interception late in the second quarter, and it set up a Chargers touchdown that gave them a 12-3 lead heading into halftime.
The pick by Mickens was the first of two interceptions that Rodgers threw in the contest.
