Northwestern in the NFL, Week 9: Hunter Niswander makes his debut

Following Northwestern’s third consecutive victory on Saturday vs. Nebraska, a number of Pro ‘Cats saw the field the next day with some familiar faces joining the bunch for the first time.

Hunter the Punter made his NFL debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending with two punts for an average of 39.5 yards.

After a stint in the XFL, Niswander finally got his shot in the big league. He was signed to the practice squad Oct. 26 and called up to the active roster in the wake of starter Chris Jones’ injury.
