Pack it in: A look back at Penn State players in the 2023 NFL Draft

Penn Stated: Talking Penn State Football with Donnie Collins

So much for Sean Clifford having to fight for an opportunity on the free-agent path after the 2023 NFL Draft.
The record-setting Penn State quarterback and four-time captain's fifth-round selection by the Green Bay Packers on Saturday highlighted what was a big weekend for the Nittany Lions at the Draft in Kansas City. But what does his selection say about how his career was viewed by those who watched him at Penn State?
Legendary Penn State beat writer (and noted Green Bay Packers fanatic) Rich Scarcella of the Reading Eagle joined host Donnie Collins on the Penn Stated podcast this week to discuss the Clifford selection from both a Packers and Penn State perspective.
They also debated which drafted Penn State player is the best fit with the team that drafted him, and which player -- outside of Clifford, of course -- went higher than both thought he would.
In a jam-packed episode of the podcast, Donnie also chatted with Mike Rescigno of the Greater Scranton Penn State Chapter to discuss the return of the group's popular annual dinner, which will be held on June 8 at Fiorelli Catering in Peckville. New Penn State men's basketball coach Mike Rhoades and voice of Penn State football and basketball Steve Jones will be the keynote speakers, and local Penn State legend Matt McGloin will serve as toastmaster.
Donnie also ran down some breaking news: The release of the 2024-25 College Football Playoff schedule.
