It’s typically not the best idea to call a 6-5 258-pound semi-professional football player names. Yet, that happened on Sunday at Penn State Media Day when talking to sophomore defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton.  “I’ve been watching you in the weight room, after a sack, and I mean this as a sign of respect - You’re a psycho. Aren’t you?”  “Probably. Deion calls me crazy all the time in the D-line room. I would say on the field, yes, but off the field, I’m pretty relaxed,” Dennis-Sutton said with a smile and a nod to the Penn State defensive line tent on the sidelines of Beaver Stadium.
