Nittany Lions littered all over NFL rosters

UNIVERSITY PARK – Training camps have wrapped up, cutdown days are over and teams in the National Football League are at their 53-man roster limit.

Some teams are still stocking their practice squads, but most have shifted their focus to preparing for the opening day kickoff in week one.

And at least one team is busy trading one cornerstone player – the Dallas Cowboys shipping three-time All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons, a Penn State product, to the Green Bay Packers.

Alas, the Cowboys still have former Nittany Lion running Miles Sanders on their roster. Green Bay added Parsons and already had offensive tackle Rasheed Walker.

Of the 32 teams in the NFL, 25 of them have at least one Penn State player on their active roster, injured reserve or practice squad:
