Penn State DT PJ Mustipher hopes for big results

Considering the depth at the defensive tackle draft pool in 2023 and how much Mustipher is being viewed as a bit of a work in progress in some key areas, it should come as no surprise to see Mustipher being projected to be a middle to late-round draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft, perhaps leaning more toward the back end of the draft rounds.

All of this can change drastically with a good showing in the NFL combine. Being viewed as a late-round draft pick also means Mustipher could be at risk of not being drafted at all as the later rounds tend to be a total guessing game as the draft unfolds and teams scramble to fit needs. But there is always a need for more depth on the line of scrimmage, and that should be a benefit to Mustipher’s draft hopes.
