David Milewski was a rugged Rutgers edge setter with comeback grit and captain qualities
In the 2014 season, David Milewski showed the kind of toughness coaches love: after three knee injuries, he returned as a team captain and started all 13 games on Rutgers’ defensive line, finishing with a career-best 57 tackles[3]. He was a local product who chose Rutgers as a “no-brainer,” and the profile that emerges is of a durable, high-IQ, team-first defender with real leadership juice rather than flash-only production[2][3]. That combination made him the sort of player a program can trust in the trenches.
