good so far you're 1 for two drafts and  as you will soon see what the NCAA has confirmed that he was positioned in just right place to help pad those stats

there is a more telling/accurate metric I went to Sporting News(https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/michigan-players-drafted-2024-nfl-draft-jj-mccarthy-corum/dd8ceec9eea205f378110acd) and reviewed all of M's list of NFL Draftees following their "Legendary Season". I used Pro Football Reference for stats, these Picks were either out for the season,inactive or were buffing the bench with their backsides.The Blue Wall deluded their disciples into thinking this legendary draft would rival Lombardi's Packers,Noll's Steelers or the '85 Bears. They must be invading Dean Martin's liquor cabinet and playing with Quija Boards if they really believe that

For instance Mr LLC himself- Blake Crum,err Corum had a robust 207 yds on the season,Mike Sainristil safety for Washington shows some promise as he showed up for all 16 games.AJ Barner, TE for Seattle had 245 yds receiving,congratulations AJ you were one of the more productive ones. Trevor Keegan played in one game for the Eagles but got a ring,Congats Trevor. But for the rest Great Googly Moogly I honestly was shocked,2 of the draftees had no stats posted at all, 3 off them had o-o-o-o-o across the stat sheet - I'm serious . Search for your self but be warned - I spent more time compiling this post than those woefull wastrels saw playing time - unfacking believable.

Back in 2001 or 2002 @Big Beef Tacosupreme had a PSU thread at the old CFN site.

It turned into a thread to post jokes in, which is way better than this shit.

Ok, defense:

Linebackers:  

Tony Rojas has been earning praise for his athleticism and work ethic for the last two years.  Unfortunately he spent 2024 dealing with nagging injuries and never realized his full potential.  He missed spring ball in order to get surgery on his shoulder, and is apparently back to full strength. 

Dominic DeLuca also returns.  DeLuca has a brilliant football mind, but he lacks the top end athleticism typical of a Penn State linebacker.  He is excellent in passing situations.  He had 3 interceptions last year on only 5 starts.  

Penn State also added North Carolina linebacker Amare Campbell (74 tackles in 2024)

Keon Wylie will be the chief backup, and PSU will need to see development from him and the other underclassman.

There is some concern here.  Rojas has a chance to be a breakout star, but I worry about the depth of the unit overall.  They should be above average defending against the pass, but they may struggle to get to the QB and against the run at times.  Overall I expect them to be about 5th or 6th in the B1G.  GRADE:  C+

I'll have to do the rest in a bit.
