The dizzying highs and terrifying lows of Clayton Thorson

Take a journey with us back in time, back when Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson was selected in the 5th round, 167th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. On second thought, let’s go back even further. Let’s go back to September of 2018.

Lots of positives about @NUFBFamily QB #18 Thorson...good size, mind, and experience with enough arm and mobility. Coaches say he’s bouncing back well from ACL injury. Staff reached out to NFL last December to gauge draft status and all 10 teams polled said 2nd or 3rd round.
