Quite possibly the most radical difference between Penn State football's new coaching regime and its old one is its use of social media. For that reason, we have complied a complete Twitter directory of the 2014 Penn State Nittany Lion football team.
James Franklin has made a big step towards replacing Allen Robinson and putting some weapons on the field for Christian Hackenberg to work with as four-star wide receiver Saeed Blacknall, originally a Rutgers commit, flipped to the Nittany Lions after making an unofficial visit to Penn State last week.
The newly formed Penn State football coaching staff wasted no time getting to work as the team landed two players on Saturday in the form of four-star athlete Koa Farmer and three-star kicker Jorge Powell.
James Franklin opened his Friday afternoon press conference gushing about the staff that he had put together, largely made up of Vanderbilt coaches that stayed loyal to their charismatic leader. It quickly became clear that this group of coaches are a lot more than just colleagues.
It was, by all accounts, a banner year for Penn Staters in the NFL. The 2013 season hasn't yet come to a close yet with the Super Bowl still to be played in under two weeks, but it's worth looking back on Penn State's five players who made NFL rosters this season.
The legacy of Penn State football success on the professional level has continued into 2014 as the Nittany Lions will again be represented on the biggest stage in sports. Michael Robinson and Jordan Hill, who both play for the Seattle Seahawks, will suit up for Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos at MetLife Stadium on February 2 for a shot at a championship ring.
