Former Syracuse safety Andre Cisco was known as a playmaker in college and that was a big reason why he was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft. On Sunday, Cisco achieved an NFL milestone for his young career. He recorded his first pick six. 

The Jaguars are playing the Philadelphia Eagles in Philly. In the first quarter, a Jalen Hurts pass was tipped and then caught by Cisco. He returned the interception 59 yards for a score to give Jacksonville an early lead. It was the second interception on the season and career for Cisco. 

Syracuse safety Andre Cisco was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He tied for fourth all-time at Syracuse with 13 career interceptions. His seven interceptions as a true freshman were the second most in any single season in Orange history.

Cisco also finished his Syracuse career with 136 tackles, two tackles for loss, 14 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown. Cisco's junior season was cut short after suffering an injury during pre-game warmups when he collided with a teammate. Shortly after that, Cisco declared for the NFL Draft.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
