MAC football is almost back, and we’re already getting excited about the TV schedule for the opening night of action on Nov. 4. While the current student-athletes prepare for their upcoming games, the players who use to start on Wednesday nights are making statements as professionals.
The Week 6 edition of Pro MACtion Update includes four players which all attended college around a similar time in the mid-2010s. From an undrafted linebacker stepping up for a breakout performance to a third round receiver starring in Detroit, here are notable performances from former MAC stars this past weekend.
Robert Spillane, ILB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Western Michigan — 2014-17
Western Michigan faithful will best remember Spillane for his game-winning interception to seal the 2016 MAC Championship for the Broncos, a play which wound up clinching a Cotton Bowl appearance for the program.
