Penn State defensive tackle PJ Mustipher was the first of seven Nittany Lions to take a crack at performing at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, but it was a tough day compared to some of the other NFL draft prospects. Mustipher’s numbers didn’t do much to move the needle as the NFL draft approaches, and the combine results alone may leave some wondering if Mustipher will even be drafted.
Mustipher lacked the speed and athleticism that was put on display by many of the other defensive tackles at the combine. But there is something to be said about how the combine may not necessarily be the best way to show what Mustipher can bring to the table on an NFL roster. But it is clear Mustipher may be facing a bit of an uphill battle to being drafted by an NFL franchise now. But a late round draft pick may still be worth the investment in Mustipher’s future if the right team comes along.
