NFL Draft 2019 Player Profile: defensive tackle Kevin Givens

After three seasons playing on the Penn State defensive line, defensive tackle Kevin Givens decided to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. Givens started just one complete season up front but made the move to the next level after a solid few seasons in Happy Valley.

One thing that’ll stand out in his favor on draft day is his experience. Givens started just one full season, but he played significant time in each of the previous two, seeing time in a total of 39 games, starting 22 of those. As a redshirt freshman in 2016, he got on the field from day one and helped the Nittany Lions to a 31-9 run over the next three seasons.
