As I’m sure most of you are aware, Northwestern Football’s Twitter account posts a fun, gothic-style graphic showcasing which “Pro ‘Cats” are taking the field around the NFL each week. Here at Inside NU, we also break down how NU alumni are doing on a game-by-game basis as their respective professional teams attempt to make deep postseason runs.
Looking at those graphics and articles, certain names and information can feel regurgitated. For example, it’s been well-documented how dominant Rashawn Slater has been in his rookie season, earning the highest Pro Football Focus grade for a rookie offensive tackle in 10 years and being named a Second-Team All-Pro on Friday.
