Penn State's Yetur Gross-Matos And K.J. Hamler Selected In 2nd Round Of NFL Draft
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Two Penn State players went quickly off the board during the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The first Nittany Lion taken on Friday was Yetur Gross-Matos. With the 38th overall pick, the Carolina Panthers selected the defensive end.
The Spotsylvania, Virginia native racked up 37 tackles and 19 sacks during his three-year college career. Starting in 2017, Gross-Matos played 38 games for the blue and white.
Gross-Matos is a person and player you can easily root for. Lost both his Dad and Brother to tragic accidents. He's been motivated by his desire to make them proud. He has. ????????????

So Denver drafted Jeudy and Hamler. I guess they'll be passing the ball a lot
