Three years removed from Saquon Barkley being chosen No. 2 overall by the NY Giants in 2018 NFL Draft, Penn State Football could be primed to add two more first-round selections to the program’s history.

Inside linebacker Micah Parsons, edge-rusher Jayson Oweh, and tight end Pat Freiermuth all over the potential to off the board in the first-round. Especially if Oweh and Freiermuth impress during the program’s pro day workout next month.

Former general manager Charley Casserly projects Parsons and Oweh as first-round selections, in his debut NFL Mock Draft of 2020.
