Penn State Football NFL Draft Profile: DaeSean Hamilton

When the 2017 Penn State football season began, DaeSean Hamilton was looked at as a player who would be lucky to get drafted.

After a strong freshman season in 2014 with 82 receptions, 899 yards and two touchdowns, Hamilton dropped off during his next two seasons. During his sophomore year, he had 45 receptions, 580 yards, and six touchdowns, and during his junior year, he had only 34 receptions for 506 yards and a touchdown.

However, this all changed during his senior year, as Hamilton was Trace McSorely’s most reliable wide receiver, as he caught 53 receptions for 857 yards and nine touchdowns.
