Penn State players in the NFL have quiet Week 9 performances

For the first time in a long time Penn State’s NFL players didn’t have much production. Week 9 was full of low-scoring affairs, so it didn’t offer the school’s alumni many chances to perform.

But luckily the current Nittany Lions have found their footing back in college, so it’s a little easier to stomach these low numbers. The stars were held in check this week, and the unheralded guys weren’t able to pick up their slack either.

It was a pretty quiet week for the professional Penn State players, but let’s take a look at the numbers they produced anyway.
