Knights in the NFL – Week 14
Dec 13 | Football
Week 14 was a big week for former Scarlet Knights in the NFL, highlighted by the NFL debut of one rookie from Rutgers. Quentin Gause was activated by the Denver Broncos off their practice squad, and made his professional debut against the Tennessee Titans. In that same game, Jason McCourty had a game-high eight tackles and recovered a fumble. He wasn't the only RU player to come up with a turnover, as his brother Devin had an interception on Monday night football, and Marcus Cooper also recorded a pick.
