Nick Kwiatkoski was a hard-hitting, production-heavy WVU linebacker who turned instincts into an NFL career
Kwiatkoski stood out at West Virginia as a physical, high-effort linebacker who piled up **303 tackles**, **28 tackles for loss**, **6 interceptions**, and **2 sacks** from 2011-15, then carried that same reliability into a seven-year NFL run. Reports from WVU describe him as a player whose growth at the program shaped him as much as his on-field production, and Pro Football Focus once ranked him among the league’s better run-stoppers at inside linebacker. If you value toughness, run defense, and a proven development story, he fits the profile of a dependable, no-frills defender.
