How NFL Penn State players performed in Week 8

Finally, for the first time in more than a month, it was a good week for Penn State’s college football team and its players in the NFL. Much like the Nittany Lions, which are made up of underrated, lesser-known players, their unheralded alumni were the ones performing this week.
