‘Dream come true’ for Riders’ Newsome to be in video game
Growing up everyone has a dream they hope will turn into reality.
For Roughriders’ defensive end Jonathan Newsome, that was to play professional football. One of his greatest “I made it” moments was making the popular football video game Madden NFL.
Newsome had successful college careers at Ohio State and Ball State, which led him to be selected by the Colts in in the 2014 NFL entry draft.
He impressed early. In Newsome’s rookie year he led the team in sacks with 6.5 – also good enough for second in the entire NFL amongst rookies and he even stripped the legendary Peyton Manning of the ball.
