I'm not sure about Boone or Clark

Both might go, but I wouldn’t be surprised if both go as undrafted FAs. Teams start looking for depth and QB and K/P aren’t positions where you need a lot of depth.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next/only Nittany Lion taken from here on out is Landolt.

For being 200 lbs

Redd looks small. But he also looks pretty darn fast.

mcgloin is not impressing at all

just seems off in his throws…his deep throws seem to be classic arm punts…

i thought he would be much more advanced with these receivers.

Minus the stupid play.

But that’s exactly why Joe won’t play him. A string of great plays can be wiped out by something like that sack.

To be fair, their defense is going to be sick-nasty, easily their strength, much like ours.

Once again, the season will rise or fall on the back of the wide receiver that plays quarterback.
