Dennis-Sutton Earns His Right, Heads to Green Bay

Packers selected Penn State edge Dani Dennis‑Sutton in the fourth round (No. 120). He stayed at PSU four years, learning behind first‑round talents Chop Robinson and Abdul Carter before becoming a full‑time starter in 2024, posting double‑digit tackles for loss (13 and 12) and 8.5 sacks in his last two seasons, plus seven forced fumbles and a program‑leading three blocked punts last year. Green Bay cited his development under PSU’s system and his knack for making plays as reasons for the pick, and Dennis‑Sutton looks to seize an opportunity as the Packers rebuild their edge rushers. He’s eager to prove he can translate his college success to Sundays, inspired by Micah Parsons and his love for football.
