Nittany Lions in the NFL 2026: Week 4

Penn State’s 2023 graduating class is making a significant impact across the NFL just three weeks into the 2026 season, with 27 former Nittany Lions currently on active rosters or injured reserve. The group spans 19 teams, including standout performers like Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki, who delivered a clutch 40-yard touchdown catch to extend his team’s lead.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson also stood out with a 54-yard touchdown reception, while Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth added to his early-season success with another scoring grab. Defensive contributions came from Washington Commanders defensive lineman Odafe Oweh, who recorded a sack, and Miami Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson, who tallied two tackles and a sack.

Other notable players include New York Giants wide receiver Theo Johnson, who scored an 11-yard touchdown, and Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Brenton Strange, who hauled in seven catches for 95 yards in a single game.
