Tamba Hali and NaVorro Bowman will represent Penn State in the 2016 Pro Bowl. Jacksonville wide receiver Allen Robinson was one of the biggest snubs of the year, but the Nittany Lions will still be well represented.
Jordan Lucas and Carl Nassib, two of Penn State's premier defenders in 2015, have accepted their invitations to the Reese's Senior Bowl, where they'll face some of the nation's top talent in preparation for the 2016 NFL Draft.
The loss of Nyeem Wartman-White and the lack of experience in the linebacker corps initially brought a challenge to the Nittany Lion defense this season, until Jason Cabinda and Troy Reeder took the expanded roles and made the most of them in the 2015 season.
