Tuesday was a tough day for some former Penn State football players. As NFL teams announced their official 53-man roster, 15 Penn Staters were waived or released by their respective teams.

While some were undrafted free agents getting ready to make their debut, others leave behind some extensive experience.

To help you keep track of yesterday’s movements, we compiled a list of former Penn State players who will be without a roster spot this season.

Wide receiver Allen Robinson was released by the New York Giants ahead of his 11th year in the league. Robinson has also played for the Jaguars, Bears, Rams, and Steelers during his NFL career.
