Penn State’s all-time first-round NFL draft picks

Every Penn State football player ever drafted in the first round of the NFL draft in school history.

In the history of the NFL draft, only a handful of schools have had more players drafted by NFL franchises than Penn State. The Nittany Lions have sent over 360 players through the NFL draft over the years, and that number continues to climb every year. And when it comes to first-round picks, Penn State has had a solid number of those as well, including some top draft picks.

Lenny Moore, arguably the best player in Penn State football history, is appropriately the first player in program history to be selected by an NFL franchise in the NFL draft. Since then, Penn State players have been selected in the first round numerous times through the decades with players like Shane Conlan, Blair Thomas, Ki-Jana Carter, LaVar Arrington, Saquon Barkley, and Micah Parsons.

Here is a look at every first-round NFL draft pick in Penn State history, starting with the first.

42 is a pretty historic number in Penn State football history. There were three well-known players that gave it their all while wearing 42.

The first guy that we will be discussing today is former Penn State running back Lenny Moore. Moore played three seasons as a Nittany Lion (1953-1955) and posted a 1,000-yard rushing season and 11 touchdowns in his second year. Moore played 12 years in the NFL, where he was both a 5x All-Pro and 6x Pro Bowler. There wasn’t a ton of action from him in the passing game in college, but that changed in the NFL, where he played both running back and wide receiver.
