[NU Sports] Dwiight White Jr.

[Weinbaum, Willie]

The one that comes to mind immediately is the legendary Ron Burton, a College Football Hall of Famer from NU who was the first draft pick in the history of the Patriots.   All four of his sons played football for the Cats.   Ron was one of the finest people I've ever met and a real credit to Northwestern.  Here's a link to a 2006 piece in Northwestern Magazine about Ron's legacy (good story to read as Ron's Pats prepare for the Super Bowl :)):

Is not the son of the Dwight White who played for the Steelers,

His father, however, played football for Prarieview A & M a team that used to play the other Dwight White's team East Texas State.

We do have a son of an NFL'er however, Malin Jones.

Still wonder how many Father-Son Football recruits we've had at NU.
