The pipeline from Happy Valley to the NFL continues to make headlines, as two former Penn State standouts made their presence felt this past weekend.
Quarterback Sean Clifford, now with the Green Bay Packers, delivered one of the highlights of the game when he broke free for a long scramble that showcased his mobility. Known primarily for his passing during his Penn State career, Clifford reminded fans that he’s more than capable of creating plays with his legs, drawing cheers from teammates and coaches alike.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Parker Washington flashed the playmaking ability that made him a star in blue and white. Suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington hauled in a crucial touchdown reception, slipping past coverage and finding the end zone with authority. His ability to separate and make contested catches continues to translate smoothly to the professional level.
Together, their performances were a proud moment for Penn State fans who follow their Nittany Lions alumni in the NFL. From Clifford’s gritty run to Washington’s polished scoring grab, the duo showed that Penn State’s reputation for producing NFL-ready talent remains as strong as ever.
As the NFL season unfolds, both Clifford and Washington will be players to watch—each carving out their own path, while carrying a piece of Penn State pride with them on Sundays.
