Penn State may be known as Linebacker U, but the Nittany Lions have a pretty strong legacy on the defensive line playing in its favor as well. Coming up with an all-time roster for the defense was a pretty easy task for the most part, but there just was not enough space to include some very worthy and memorable names.
For example, Sean Lee is one of the best linebackers in school history and recently brought a close to a stellar NFL career. Yet, he couldn’t quite make the cut on this all-time roster. That should give you an idea of how stacked Penn State’s defenses have been over the course of the program’s history.
