Penn State football seeks to add to its total of 40 first-round draft picks at the 2024 NFL Draft.
At this time of year, Penn State football leans into the development pitch of its program. The Nittany Lions have put together some prolific drafts of late but seek some more marquee first-rounders.
Offensive tackle Olu Fashanu and defensive end Chop Robinson lead Penn State's contingent into the draft, which begins Thursday night. Fashanu is a first-round lock, likely to get drafted within the first 15 picks. Robinson, meanwhile, has been modeled as a late first-rounder who could slip into the second round, as cornerback Joey Porter Jr. did last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Penn State has had two No. 1 overall picks and nine drafts with multiple first-rounders. The most productive was 2003, when four Nittany Lions were drafted in the first round: Jimmy Kennedy, Michael Haynes, Bryant Johnson and Larry Johnson Jr.
