How Penn State prospects took a step toward NFL draft history at Pro Day

UNIVERSITY PARK

Saquon Barkley, who last year became Penn State’s highest-drafted player since 2000, looked on at Holuba Hall on Tuesday as his former teammates took a step toward making history of their own.

The Nittany Lions won’t boast another top-five pick in April; they might not even have a first-round selection. But the 2019 draft could be the first in 16 years to have three Penn State players taken in the first two rounds.

Miles Sanders, Amani Oruwariye and Connor McGovern — three possible second-round picks — looked sharp at Tuesday’s Pro Day. Sanders caught passes smoothly, Oruwariye’s hips were loose in defensive back drills, and McGovern moved nimbly during the offensive line session.
