The new Nittany Lions are all over the NFL. Here is a first look at them all in their first week in the league.
Penn State had the third most players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. All the way from the first round to the sixth round, the Nittany Lions were flying off the board, and now, one week later, they are settled into their new homes.
Each one of their roles varies across the board. Vega Ioane is expected to be an offensive lineman of the future for the Ravens, while Drew Allar is a lottery ticket in Pittsburgh, and Kaytron Allen is likely going to be a special teamer in Washington.
Regardless of their intended roles, the guys are all getting settled into their new homes, and we take a look at all of them.
Vega Ioane and the Baltimore Ravens are on the field for rookie minicamp, and he looks like every bit of a player who is going to make an impact on day one of the season.
Ioane was regarded as the best interior offensive lineman in the draft, and he was selected as such. He was incredible in his days as a Nittany Lion, and the hope is that he carries that over to his time in Baltimore.
No on-field work yet for Drew Allar, but he is on site in Pittsburgh getting used to his new digs in Western Pennsylvania. The Steelers are really hoping that they snagged a lottery ticket in Allar to become their quarterback of the future.
Defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton had one chance to make a good first impression and he didn't miss. In his first media availability, he made sure to shake the hand of every media member that was in his scrum.
Drew Shelton is getting his feet under him in Dallas. As a fourth-round pick, he is going to have to earn his way onto the roster as a swing lineman and a nice depth piece. It will take a lot of work to get there in Dallas, but he could be a pivotal piece in Dallas.
None of the other draft picks have begun their rookie minicamps at this point. Carolina, Tennessee, Buffalo, and Washington all have their camps next week.
We will get our first look at the other draft picks soon, so for now, there are just a couple. Each of them will have a unique role on their teams in their rookie seasons.
