“How TF Does Penn State STILL Not Have a 1st-Round CB?! What Are They Feeding These DBs?!”
You’d think a powerhouse like Penn State—”Linebacker U,” with a supposed NFL pipeline—would have at least one first-round cornerback by now, right? WRONG. Somehow, despite decades of elite recruiting, fancy facilities, and a parade of draft picks, the Nittany Lions have never produced a first-round NFL cornerback. Not one. Zero. Zilch.
It’s 2025. iPhones fold now. Planes are practically flying themselves. But Penn State can’t develop one corner good enough to go in the top 32 picks? That’s not just a stat, it’s a scandal.
Year after year, Penn State trots out DBs with speed, size, and swagger. Guys who show flashes, lock down top receivers in the Big Ten, and even show up on some draft boards. But then—poof—they slide to Day 2 or Day 3, or they disappear entirely. Where’s the disconnect? Is it coaching? Scheme? Is there some kind of anti-PSU bias in NFL war rooms?
Let’s talk names. Joey Porter Jr. was supposed to break the curse. He had the bloodline, the hype, and the tape. But nope—Round 2. And while he’s making noise in the NFL now, the first-round drought continues.
It makes you wonder: Is Penn State cursed at cornerback? Are they training DBs in zone-heavy schemes that don’t translate to the league? Are scouts seeing something we’re not—or is this a case of gross underdevelopment?
Meanwhile, schools like LSU, Alabama, and Ohio State are practically printing first-round corners like it’s a factory line. So what’s PSU’s excuse?
Unless someone steps up and dominates this season, this embarrassing trend could roll on into 2026.
At this point, it’s not just a drought—it’s a damn embarrassment.
