NFL Frog tracker: Two TCU products start on New England Patriots’ O-line in Week 3
TCU has 15 players on NFL 53-man rosters, including two on the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
In fact, the Patriots had a pair of TCU products starting on their offensive line on Sunday. Marshall Newhouse started at left tackle and Marcus Cannon was at right tackle. Newhouse joined the Patriots earlier this month when Cannon went down with an injury.
Newhouse and Cannon were teammates at TCU from 2006-09.
