The 2024 Penn State Nittany Lions NFL hopefuls are in the final stretch of the draft process. NFL scouts have poked, prodded, and questioned them for three months. Now, it's almost time for them to find out where their homes will be in the NFL. But even if a player is drafted, he still needs to be successful. Fit is sometimes as important as talent.  In the wrong scheme, good players can become average performers. So, with that in mind, let's look at the 2024 Penn State NFL Draft players to see where their skills match the scheme at the next level. We assessed the offensive players last week; now we'll look at the defenders who could make an impact in the right system.
