Already a Star for Northwestern, Paddy Fisher Is Just Getting Started
Paddy Fisher is well on his way to an NFL future, but first, the still-improving linebacker is poised to cement his legacy as the anchor of Northwestern's stingy defense.
EVANSTON, Ill. — When Paddy Fisher was home in Katy, Texas, over a break last year, he and Travis Whillock, the Northwestern defensive back who attended high school with the linebacker, put on a tape of their youth football highlights. Whillock was suited up at quarterback. Fisher, who now stands 6’4” and weighs 246 pounds, was in at running back. “He was [throwing] touchdown passes,” Fisher says. “I was running around people, which never happens. I don't know when the last time was I ran around someone."
