A magical two-season run for Penn State football from 2016-2017 meant multiple players would be headed for the NFL – that statement came true in the 2018 NFL Draft. Six players were selected and six other signed onto teams as undrafted free agents. In total, 11 players have stayed on rosters during the seasons.
Starting with the biggest names, let’s go with those drafted. New York Giants’ running back Saquon Barkley lead the list of big names and maybe all NFL rookies. He was selected second overall and has backed it up.
Barkley has been responsible for 1,124 yards rushing and nine touchdowns, adding 78 catches, 629 yards and four more touchdowns through the air.
