(Chicago) — Penn State saw two former members of their defense taken in day three of the NFL Draft on Saturday.

Defensive tackle Anthony Zettel went from being a Nittany Lion to being a Detroit Lion.

Then, just two picks later in the sixth round, defensive back Jordan Lucas was picked by the Miami Dolphins.

They join fellow Penn Staters Austin Johnson, Christiam Hackenburg and Carl Nassib, all taken in day two of the draft on Friday.

Also on Saturday, cornerback Trevor Williams signed as an undrafted free agent with the San Diego Chargers.  

He was the first of several Nittany Lions expected to sign rookie free agent contracts.
