Northwestern’s ball-hawking DB with return-game juice
In the 2009 season, Sherrick McManis finished with 37 tackles and a team-best five interceptions in 10 games, ranking first in the Big Ten and eighth nationally in interceptions per game[2][8]. His calling card was playmaking: he also piled up nine career picks and 30 career pass breakups at Northwestern, showing the instincts, recovery speed, and hands to flip a game in a snap[2][8]. He’s the kind of defensive back who fits a team needing a smart, aggressive, proven takeaway threat—plus some extra value as a dangerous kick returner[2][8].
