Offensive lineman Connor McGovern left Penn State early. Now, the junior will be playing early in the NFL.
The versatile guard/center was the second Nittany Lion selected in the 2019 NFL draft, as the Dallas Cowboys picked him at No. 90 overall in the third round Friday night. (McGovern came off the board after Miles Sanders, who was taken No. 53 overall by the Philadelphia Eagles.)
McGovern provides several options for the Cowboys, as he can play anywhere inside. At Penn State, he was a center for the first two years of his career before moving over to guard this past season.
