Justin Jackson, Austin Carr make 53-man rosters
Two of Northwestern’s best offensive players in recent memory have made their respective NFL teams.
Despite being hurt for most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, former NU running back Justin Jackson has made the Chargers 53-man roster, the team announced on Twitter Sunday.
And, second-year pro Austin Carr has made the Saints, per New Orleans Advocate reporter Nick Underhill.
Jackson is one of four running backs on the 53, along with Melvin Gordon III, Austin Ekeler and Detrez Newsome. Fullback Derek Watt also made the team.
