Linebacker Paddy Fisher has been the breakout star of this 2017 season for Northwestern. Coming off of a career day against Michigan State, Fisher is starting to get noticed nationally for his performance.
Following his 19-tackle* outing against the Spartans last Saturday, the redshirt freshman has raked in awards all week long. First, he was named the Walter Camp FBS Defensive Player of the Week. Unsurprisingly, Fisher added a similar award from the Big Ten and another national award from the FWAA. He got a 92.5 grade from Pro Football Focus.
