Penn State once had a proud tradition of putting excellent linebackers into the NFL. That has fallen off of late, with Sean Lee and NaVorro Bowman being the last great linebackers from Penn State to make their mark in the NFL, drafted all the way back in 2010.
The 2021 NFL Draft could see that tradition restored as Micah Parsons enters the draft.
Parsons’ stock has been volatile over the course of the draft process, with him being reckoned a top-5 pick at times, and slipping to the bottom of the first round in others.
