All eight Penn State Nittany Lions drafted have signed their NFL contracts. Here's what they're worth.
Chop Robinson signed his NFL contract with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, marking a milestone for Penn State football. All eight Nittany Lions selected in the 2024 NFL Draft have signed their rookie contracts, compiling an impressive sum of potential earnings.
Penn State's eight players signed four-year contracts worth a combined $64.6 million, something the Penn State coaching staff certainly can sell on the recruiting trial. That group includes offensive linemen Olu Fashanu, Caedan Wallace and Hunter Nourzad. They convened for Penn State's first draft since1996 with three offensive linemen selected. Fashanu, Wallace and Nourzad combined to sign four-year contracts worth more than $31 million.
"That's a cool accomplishment," Penn State offensive line coach Phil Trautwein said of the draft. "... It's just awesome for us and who we are. I want to have as many draft picks as possible every year. I want all of our guys to be drafted, because that's their goal. Seeing that also shows them how hard it is and how hard those guys had to work."
Fashanu, Penn State's former left tackle and a 2023 consensus All-American, led the contingent with by far the biggest deal. After drafting Fashanu at No. 11 overall, the New York Jets signed him to a four-year deal worth $20.5 million, according to Spotrac, the site thatPenn State's eight draft picks matched a program high under head coach James Franklin. It also marked the seventh straight year Penn State has produced five or more draft picks.
