It didn’t take long for two undrafted Nittany Lions to find homes.
Minutes after the NFL draft, Penn State linebacker Jason Cabinda and wideout Saeed Blacknall both announced on Twitter they were moving on to the pros with the Oakland Raiders.
Cabinda — a 6-foot-1, 239-pound prospect — was never the fastest or most athletic player on the field. But he was always among the most important pieces to Penn State’s defense, acting as the vocal leader and never giving up on a play. Blacknall’s athletic gifts were always evident — he ran a sub-4.4 at the team pro day — but he never quite realized his four-star potential by finishing his career with 50 catches for 979 yards.
