Bruins in the NFL: Week 17
December 29, 2025 | Football
A total of 27 former UCLA football standouts saw the field this past weekend during Week 17 of the NFL regular season. Several Bruin alums made headlines on Sunday, including RB Zach Charbonnet (Seattle Seahawks), who rushed for over 100 yards and found the end zone twice and LB Carson Schwesinger (Cleveland Browns), who fought through injury to lead Cleveland to a win in a defensive slugfest against AFC North rival Pittsburgh.
• Jake Bobo, WR, Seattle Seahawks – Made a pair of tackles on special teams. Played a total of 30 snaps, including 17 on offense.

In addition, it was his fourth-career multi-touchdown game. Charbonnet's third-quarter TD broke a 3-3 tie and gave Seattle the lead for good, and he later closed the scoring with a 1-yard TD to make it 27-10 in the Seahawks' favor. The pair of scores put him at 11 rushing touchdowns on the campaign, making him the first Seahawk with double-digit rushing touchdowns in a single season since Marshawn Lynch in 2014.
