Penn State draft prospects to watch for Packers fans during College Football Playoff

The Green Bay Packers have selected a Penn State player in back-to-back NFL Drafts. During the 2023 draft, Brian Gutekunst selected Sean Clifford in the fifth round and during the 2024 draft, he selected Kalen King in the seventh round. 

If Gutekunst goes back to the Nittany Lion prospect pool during the 2025 NFL Draft, he could have his eyes set on one of these three prospects when Penn State squares off against SMU during the college football playoff. 

Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge

Abdul Carter gets all the attention and it’s well deserved. The explosive edge rusher will likely be a Top 10 pick and be off the board long before Green Bay is on the clock.

On the other side is Dennis-Sutton, who has recorded 33 pressures, seven tackles for loss and four sacks this season. At 6-5, 270 pounds, the Penn State product looks the part and is a long-levered rusher. He uses his long strides to pursue the football. Over the last four games, he’s recorded two sacks, 14 pressures and nine run stops. 

Nicholas Singleton, RB

Singleton is a dynamic back, who is quick out of the chute. He has the vision to locate the cutback lane. With his speed, Singleton is a threat to create a chunk play anytime he touches the ball. The Penn State product brings special teams value as a kick returner. 

Kobe King, LB

King is a rangy linebacker with quick feet. He can get downhill in a hurry and showcases good closing burst. After drafting his twin brother Kalen in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Packers could target Kobe on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft as they look to add depth to the linebacker room.
