Keep an eye on Penn State fullback Joe Suhey today.
Sure, he's exceeded most expectations by being a reliable pass-catcher out of the backfield and even a decent short-yardage runner at times.
The best thing, though, is that he's making a homecoming. He grew up maybe 15 minutes or so from Northwestern's campus. His father, Matt Suhey, a former Penn State star fullback and later a blocking back for Walter Payton, stayed here after his days with the Chicago Bears.
That makes Joe Suhey a fourth-generation Nittany Lion.
And there could be more to come from the family. Joe has a younger brother playing football in high school.
Really, though, the Suhey family base is still State College. Joe's grandmother and football-playing uncles, Paul and Larry, still live there.
