Now that Penn State's 2019 season is complete, it's time to take a closer look at the numbers, specifically who totaled the most snaps and graded out the highest by Pro Football Focus. Check out our season review for Penn State's offense, here! 

Individual Games

Notables

- Center Michal Menet led the Nittany Lions with 832 snaps of a possible 909. He also graded out as the team's second-best player, only behind RB Noah Cain. Cain also totaled less than one-fourth of the snaps.

- RB Journey Brown ended up totaling more than double the amount of snaps (405) than any other running back in 2019. Cain was second with 200, followed by Ricky Slade (167) and Devyn Ford (150).

- Ford and Cain were the only two offensive freshmen to not redshirt this season. Ford played in 12 games. Cain played in 10.

- Jahan Dotson totaled the most snaps (767) at wide receiver. KJ Hamler was second with 694 snaps. Hamler played just 14 snaps against Indiana before leaving the game with an injury. However, even if you add the 44 snaps that Dotson gained on him against the Hoosiers, Dotson was still on pace to out snap Hamler.

- Seven offensive linemen played in all 13 games in 2019.
