What Garrett Sickels, NFL Draft hopeful, learned from Browns DL Carl Nassib at Penn State

Penn State’s Garrett Sickels has fond memories of his former teammate and Browns defensive end Carl Nassib.

Sickels, asked about his relationship with Nassib at the NFL's annual scouting combine earlier this month, offered a smile and pointed to the 2015 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year as something of a role model during their time together in State College.

“Carl Nassib is a guy who is definitely animated on game day, animated in practice,” Sickels said. “I tell coaches the best thing that ever happened to me at Penn State was playing with Carl, (Lions DL) Anthony Zettel and (Titans DL) Austin Johnson.
