A quintet of rookie Pokes made 53-man NFL rosters Tuesday as part of the league-wide hunt to narrow rosters ahead of opening week.
Malcolm Rodriguez (Detroit), Devin Harper (Dallas), Christian Holmes (Washington), Jaylen Warren (Pittsburgh) and Josh Sills (Philadelphia) all made it through the final roster cuts of the preseason. Just because they’ve stuck to this point, however, doesn’t necessarily mean all five will stick when the NFL season gets kicked off in nine days. With the massive amounts of cuts from Tuesday, there is still some roster shuffling to be had.
OSU’s linebacker tandem from last season, Rodriguez and Harper were each sixth-round picks.
