Please use this thread for all posts and discussion about the 2026 NFL Draft, Day 3. Rounds 4 through 7 will be conducted on Day 3, starting at noon EDT.

With the Blue-White game/scrimmage/practice, there's a lot going on to interest PSU fans.

Also, I have something else on my schedule, and will not be around for most/all of the draft. So I hope some of you will step up, and post about PSUers that get drafted, and any other interesting things that occur in the draft.

I more confused why Kaytron, Singleton or Zakee hasn’t gone yet.
Zakee I got nothing
Singleton is injured on top of questions regarding his vision--is he a returner/slot receiver? Just a third down back?
Kaytron has elite vision but he's not "a breakaway guy" so he was always going to fall. I do think he'll be very productive--worst cast he's going to be an elite STer

There have been two more RBs drafted in the 4th round, for a total of five with the 4th round almost over.

Last year there were six in the first three rounds and then six more in the 4th round, for a total of 12 after four rounds. So for whatever reason, a lot few RBs are going so this year than last year.

No one cares about the RB position. Just makes me laugh that we killed momentum on offense and platooned these guys for years specifically so they would have gas in the tank for their post college careers, and that is not really working out for them so far.

Let's see if this works. I'm going to try to post the RBs drafted by round last year and this year. And I'll update as we go.

I think they will all go, but RB are not drafted at the rate the were historically.

here is a question - who will have more players drafted? Indian U national champs or Penn State 8 win team.?

Indiana may set a record for the FEWEST drafted players from a national champ.

Singleton could make a long career out of being a third down back. He has above average blocking skills and can catch the ball out of the backfield. Not a bad way to make a career.

Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson goes to KC at Pick 5-21 (#161 overall). That's only the 6th RB in 161 picks.
