That’s two of us.
I think Slater is back this week after being on the Covid list but think Gaz is out for the game because of Covid. Ekeler is out because of Covid, but he has also been hammered this season because of the number of reps he’s had. Should be a low-scoring game. The Chargers defense against the rush has improved but Bosa is also out because of Covid so his loss could be a factor. A should win/ must win game for the Bolts. Let’s see if the Chargers offense keeps going for it on 4th down. Last week’s game against the Chiefs and the missed 4th down scoring opportunities contributed to their loss.
I may have said it funny, but I think Bob Christian. He has about 2k yards and JJBTC has about 1k
I dont remember him, but it's a pretty generic name. I looked up on college football reference and there are several, but didn't see any from NU.
Former NU fullback Lavelle Brown’s little brother. Played at a Naperville or a Wheaton. NU made him a receiver under Walker/Wilson.

Here's what I wrote about JJ's career among NU grads before Sunday (posted in the Skowronek thread on the free board)
Ok, so you fall into the CB club as well since you played but bailed. Sorry glades, I was trying to help you out.
Gary Danielson’s son played for NU and was a backup QB on the 2000 team. He didn’t fit Walker’s spread scheme so quit the team early in 2002. He had a cannon but wouldn’t have played ahead of Baz (or Stauss) so perhaps GD had an axe to grind with Walker and the spread.Former NU fullback Lavelle Brown’s little brother.

Transferred to Colorado. Became a running back. Played for the Titans for several good years.
When he had a huge game against Nebraska in the day-after-Thanksgiving Colorado-Nebraska game one year (let’s guess ‘02), Gary Danielson said something smug like “Can you believe this guy went to Northwesssstern?!?!”, like a real penis.
Technically, I would say Chris Brown is a Northwestern football player. For purposes of this list, I’d say he’s not.
Russell Wilson isn’t the greatest Nc State quarterback in the NFL, even though he played there 3 years. Jacoby Brissett is. Duh.
(Look, they call themselves QBU! Who knew?!?! The things you find when you Google ‘NC state quarterbacks in the nfl”)
TheWolfpackCentral - The quarterbacks of QBU
There have been more than 75 players who have taken snaps from center at the line of scrimmage for the Wolfpack.
And Gary D. ground that ax more than once. When Genyk was named head coach at Eastern Michigan, he said something like, "Why would you hire someone who wasn't even a coordinator at Northwestern?" I knew there was a good reason I preferred Eric Hipple as the Lions' QB over him.
I think the G Danielsons and Stocks of that age provided quality backups. His son was too slow in a spread.
Danielson was the starter for Detroit early in Billy Sims' career. Then Hipple had a monster game vs. the Bears and the two battled it out for the job over the next couple of seasons. The Lions thought they solved the QB problem when they drafted Chuck Long. Danielson went to Cleveland to back up Bernie Kosar to finish out his playing career.
