enn State has never had a defensive
back picked in the first round of the
NFL Draft. Now, however, it's on the
cusp of having two in as many years. For-
mer Nittany Lion cornerback Joey Por-
ter Jr. is expected to hear his name called
within the first 31 picks of this year's pro
selection process. Next year, Kalen King
figures to be in a similar position.
A junior corner-
back from Detroit,
King boasts an on-
field resume that
bears some simi-
larities to Porter's,
but also some key
differences.
