Red Five Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Fitzgerald has quietly engendered NFL interest for several years given his impressive run in the Big 10 with Northwestern, generally with far inferior natural talent to the football factories in that conference. That has increased this season, sources said, with search firms trying to gauge what degree of interest, if any, he would have in finally jumping to the pro ranks. He is held in very high regard by NFL execs and decision-makers, and though he is basically a lifelong Wildcat, who many think is not interested in leaving the greater Chicago area at age 50. But with Big 10 favorites bringing in coaches like Urban Myer and Jim Harbaugh in recent years, the ability to compete at his current school will only increase in difficulty. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/25427055/jim-mora-pat-fitzgerald-among-darkhorse-college-candidates-for-nfl-openings Quote Link to comment
