How former TCU players fared during NFL’s Week 3: Ty Summers leads Packers in tackles
Anybody who watched Ty Summers at TCU knows he’s a tackling machine. Summers had 319 tackles in his stellar college career.
So, when Green Bay Packers linebacker Christian Kirksey went down with an injury on Sunday night, it came as no surprise to see Summers piling up the tackles. In fact, he ended up leading the Packers with nine tackles in their victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Summers was among a number of former Frogs making their presence felt in the NFL’s Week 3. Here’s a look at how all the Horned Frogs fared:

Jeff Gladney, CB, Minnesota Vikings: Gladney, a first-round pick by the Vikings, made his second straight start in a 31-30 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He finished with five tackles, including one tackle for loss, and one pass defensed. Gladney was beaten on a 61-yard pass play by Kalif Raymond.
