Pennsylvania State University faces crowds in Michigan
State University-There are still a few months away from the 2022 NFL Draft, but the end of the college football season is getting closer and closer. This means that the draft map will begin to take shape as players announce in advance, others choose to return to school and other decisions.
This means that the NFL draft analysts who have been busy developing the big board and position rankings in the past few weeks and months have begun to refine their roster, thanks to the live movies and results. Pennsylvania State University once again occupies a prominent position.

Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson can be said to be the top player of the Nittany Lions this season. He has received 80 times for 993 yards and 9 touchdowns. He has a variety of exciting games every week. McShay ranks Dotson as his 10th overall prospect and 3rd wide receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft.
"Dotson is a bit small, but his suddenness, speed, and route tricks make him a dangerous offensive weapon," McShane wrote. "His rest time is very fast, but he always seems to be in control. His tape is very smooth and his route is sharp. Although the receiving radius is small, his skills are very good and he will be running. Receive the ball and/or adjust the pitch with excellent physical control. Dotson can also challenge vertically, but he does not have the size to win 50-50 balls. If he does win, he has vision and wheels to produce after receiving the ball. "
Considering the performance of the 5-foot-11 and 184-pound player this season, it is not surprising to see Dotson so tall.
