Dani Dennis-Sutton
2026 NFL Draft Prospect
- Height: 6-6
- Weight: 256
- School: Penn State
- Class: Senior
| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| Has a prototypical 6-foot-6 frame and extremely strong hands at the point of attack. Long strider and powerful lower half make his bull rush NFL ready. Athletic testing was off the charts and his straight-line speed is ideal. | Tight hips and lack of bend bring a little concern when getting off the line. Doesn’t have the countermoves or finesse needed to beat tackles who can combat his power attack. Could use better pad level and leverage. |
OVERVIEW: Dennis-Sutton backed up his impressive athletic profile with plenty of production over his four seasons at Penn State. Once a reserve behind or beside some other Nittany Lions pass rushers like Abdul Carter and Arnold Ebiketie, he finally earned a full starter's workload in 2024 and did not disappoint. He finished with 8.5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss and followed that with similar numbers in 2025. His production and potential will be enough to get teams excited, but they'll have to refine his technique in order to extend his impact.
