The Texas A&M Aggies boast 27 former student-athletes in the NFL who are currently helping their teams along in the 2023 season. Through six weeks, certain Aggies are shining.

Former Aggies defensive tackle and current Baltimore Raven Justin Madubuike added yet another achievement to his great season in a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Madubuike wrestled Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence to the ground, forcing a fumble in the process and picking up yet another sack.

The strip sack, which the Ravens recovered and turned into a field goal, marked Madubuike's 12th sack of the season, a career-high. The sack also helped Madubuike write his name in the history books, as he picked up at least half a sack in his 11th straight game, tying the NFL record. 

The record is also held by Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs and Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals, along with retired defensive linemen Jared Allen and Shaun Ellis.
