Roar Lions Roar: A Penn State Football Podcast
Episode 7.09: Penn State Defensive Back Preview
Season 7, Ep. 9
•
We've discussed a lot of position groups loaded with talent for the Nittany Lions this fall, but perhaps none is more stocked-full of top-end players with NFL futures than the defensive backs. Nick and Flip are here to break down both the cornerback and safety rooms for Penn State, which includes future pro after future pro everywhere you look. In fact, this may just be the most talented secondary James Franklin has ever had in Happy Valley, and at the very least it looks to be the most talented cornerback room. That leaves us with mostly fun questions to ask. Which two of Joey Porter Jr., Kalen King, and Johnny Dixon will be the primary starters? Who will start at safety next to Ji'Ayir Brown? How many interceptions will Brown rack up? This is a remarkably fun and loaded group.
