3. Grant Haley (Cornerback)

Grant Haley will be forever remembered for one thing, “Grant Haley will score!”

The corner back was a main-stay in Penn State Football’s defensive backfield from 2014-17. During that time, he recorded 139 tackles and five interceptions, with 22 passes defended.

In addition to his great defense, he was a standout special teams player and is responsible for one of the most memorable touchdowns in program history. Haley returned the legendary blocked field goal in 2016 against Ohio State that led to an incredible four year run by the Nittany Lions.

His production, leadership and big play ability puts him towards the top of this list.

Haley now plays for the New Orleans Saints.
