Only about a week ago, wide receiver Jordan Norwood of the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad had his career hopes lifted when he was signed to Philadelphia's active roster, the highest possible position in the National Football League.

In my post examining the NFL's top Penn State offensive players from the past 25 years , reader crazylegs asked, "I wonder how a list of Pitt players would would compare with your Offense and Defense PSU players?" crazylegs later added,"I've talked to some Pitt fans and they think Pitt's team ...

Is Larry Johnson Penn State's top offensive player from the last 25 years? Which Penn State players have seen success in the NFL lately? That was a question posed by user kepitreel to my post, Ex-Nittany Lion Jordan Norwood cut by Philadelphia Eagles .

Jordan Norwood isn't one for the histrionics. The Eagles' rookie wideout, whose baby face and slight frame could confuse him with the equipment manager's teenaged son, is more subtle and soft-spoken than your average NFL receiver.

PHILADELPHIA -- It seems as though Reggie Brown's career has been on a steady decline.

Concussions are everywhere, aren't they? Well, they always were. You just never heard so many NFL people speak in such sober tones about them before.

Less than two months after coming out of training camp with a glut of wide receivers, the Eagles now are so short at the position that they were forced to tweak their practice squad this week.
