Penn State expected to have two program alums hear their names called on Thursday night in Green Bay. That’s exactly what happened. Abdul Carter went at No. 3 overall to the New York Giants. And, Tyler Warren slotted in at No. 14 to the Indianapolis Colts. Things should go as planned for the program on Friday. And if not, that means they will go even better than expected.

Get ready for day two, which features Rounds 2 and 3 of the Draft, with our preview below.

Which Penn State players are still on the board?

All but two, of course. The rest of the Penn State Pro Day participants are still there waiting to hear their name called by an NFL team. Here’s the list:

S KJ Winston

S Jaylen Reed

LB Kobe King

OL Sal Wormley,

CB Jalen Kimber,

DT Coziah Izzard

DT Dvon J-Thomas

DE Amin Vanover

WR Julian Fleming

Who could learn their NFL home today?

At the start of the day, the odds-on favorite outcome is for only Winston Jr., to go. And, analysts are split on whether or not he will fall into Round 3 or go in Round 2. Bleacher Report and Pro Football Focus both send him to Buffalo at the tail end of Round 2. The Athletic and ESPN both suggest he could go to the New Orleans Saints with the No. 71 overall selection in Round 3. And, CBS Sports projects that he will end up with Micah Parsons in Dallas after the Cowboys pick in Round 2.

If any other former Nittany Lion is going today, it will be Jaylen Reed. But, almost all signs indicate that he will go in either Round 4 or 5 on Satuday.
