NFL roster cut down day was earlier this week as squads across the league slimmed their rosters to the required total of 53 players.
Among the former Nittany Lions not making a initial roster include: QB Sean Clifford (Packers), QB Trace McSorley (Commanders), WR KJ Hamler (Bills), WR Allen Robinson (Giants), LB Curtis Jacobs (Chiefs), DB Kalen King (Packers), DB Daquan Hardy (Bills) and DB Adrian Amos (Jaguars) among others.
