Penn State's all-time first-round NFL draft picks

· Yahoo Sports

Penn State has a rich history as one of the oldest college football teams in the nation. Countless legendary players have donned the iconic blue and white uniforms since the program’s inception in 1887, many of whom continued the Nittany Lions' legacy in the NFL. Some schools only focus on having collegiate success, and others take a more developmental approach, but Penn State always tried to accomplish both simultaneously.

From old-timers like Dave Robinson, who was selected back in the 1960s, to relative newcomers like Micah Parsons, who has only been in the league for a few years, the Nittany Lions know how to produce talent that has success at both levels. In all, Penn State has 44 all-time first-round draft picks by NFL teams, and a good number of them went on to have successful NFL careers, and some are truly just hitting their stride or beginning
