It's the beginning of June, so let's take a look at the way Penn State will try to replace some of the biggest contributors from last year's squad heading into 2015. Next up, we try to figure out how the Nittany Lions will replace Jesse James.
Many of us were expecting a break out year in 2014 for tight end Jesse James. While that arguably didn't happen (and much of the blame could be laid at the feet of a coaching change and an offensive line that didn't allow many receivers to get open, as well as James himself), the 6'7", 261-pound freak of an athlete will still undoubtedly be missed in State College, having been third on the team in receiving yards and receptions (first amongst tight ends), with 396 and 38 respectively--and leading the team in receiving touchdowns with three (which, I don't know if you know, is not a very high number to lead the team).
