Key Player – Rasheed Walker (left tackle)

Anyone who has seen the movie The Blind Side knows that the left tackle is one of the most important positions on the football field.

Well, Penn State might have one of the best left tackles in the country in Rasheed Walker.

Walker is a potential first round pick in the NFL Draft next spring, and is the number two draft eligible offensive tackle in the country, according to Pro Football Network. If he can play to that potential, it will really benefit Sean Clifford and the passing game by keeping Clifford upright and giving him time to find the open target.

Plus, Walker will be important to help pave the way up front for the Nittany Lions’ running game.

A first round performance this season by Rasheed Walker would be huge for the Penn State Football offense in 2021.
