Former NU fullback Lavelle Brown’s little brother. Played at a Naperville or a Wheaton. NU made him a receiver under Walker/Wilson.
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”)
There have been more than 75 players who have taken snaps from center at the line of scrimmage for the Wolfpack.
