Packers select Penn State EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton in 2026 NFL Draft

Penn State edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton is now officially NFL-bound. Dennis-Sutton was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 120th pick of the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft on Friday evening in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Dennis-Sutton joined Penn State in the Class of 2022. The five-star recruit was the top-rated player overall in the state of Maryland and Penn State extended an offer to him as early as 2019. Dennis-Sutton developed into one of Penn State's top edge rushers in his time in Happy Valley and is a two-time third-team All-Big Ten player (2023 and 2025).

Dennis-Sutton left his mark on the program by choosing to play in Penn State's appearance in the Pinstripe Bowl at the end of the 2025 season. He earned defensive MVP honors after a stellar performance in the victory over Clemson.

Following in the footsteps of other great defensive linemen to come out of Penn State, Dennis-Sutton will be a fun player to watch at the next level.
