Nittany Lions’ larger roster will be dangerous

Some of the weight gained by these top Penn State football players is ridiculous — if you thought watching Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton was fun a year ago, get ready to watch them barrel through even more defenders this fall. Additionally, players like Chop Robinson and Olu Fashanu are going to be nearly unstoppable at their new weights, which is a great sign for James Franklin and his staff as the Lions pursue a Big Ten title and more this season.
