TAMPA - Another productive Sunday for Stephen Nicholas has the former USF linebacker on pace to reach 100 total tackles this season.
The sixth-year pro's nine stops in Atlanta's 30-20 loss to Carolina brought his tackle total up to 81 with three more regular season games to go. Nicholas would have to average a little more than six tackles against the Giants, Lions and Buccaneers to reach the mark for the first time in his professional career.
Nicholas played for the Bulls from 2004-06 and posted a career-high 94 tackles in his debut season with USF.
Here is a look at how other former Bulls fared in Week 14 of the NFL season:
