Take a look around the NFL and you will find Penn State has a bit of an impact on the special teams around the league. Robbie Gould has been the gold standard when it comes to place-kicking for two decades, Jordan Stout was a fourth-round draft pick a year ago and Blake Gillikin has been a solid punter and just resigned with the New Orleans Saints this offseason. Sam Ficken has been kicking around the league for a few years as well.
Hoping to continue this Penn State special teams flavor in the NFL is Jake Pinegar, who has decided to turn pro rather than return for a sixth year (allowed by the NCAA as a result of the 2020 COVID season) with the Nittany Lions.
Here is a look at Jake Pinegar with updated measurables following Penn State’s pro day.
