Mississippi State Bulldogs in the NFL: Week 7 Report

The Mississippi State Bulldogs made their presence in the NFL known in Week 7. From breaking a record that many thought would remain, to making a game-winning sack, the Bulldogs ran the gambit.

You really only have to look to any national headline to see at least one of many Mississippi State Bulldogs in the NFL news. Heck, even noted Dak Prescott hater Colin Cowherd is taking notice of Dak Prescott.

Then if you look on the other side of the ball, Houston Texans LB Benardrick McKinney has just been tearing up the NFL. Take a look at his last game and you’ll see that he made a game-sealing sack for Houston against the Colts in overtime. If you want to be able to make an impact in the NFL, Mississippi State certainly seems to be the place to go.
