The Green Bay Packers welcome a new player to their pass rush during the 2026 NFL Draft, where they selected former Penn State Nittany Lions star Dani Dennis-Sutton in the fourth round (120th) overall.
There is hype surrounding Dennis-Sutton, who will be playing alongside fellow Penn State product Micah Parsons.
Clearly, Green Bay loved what they saw in Dennis-Sutton before using a draft pick on him, and he should in contention for a big role in his first season in the league. With Green Bay parting ways in the offseason with Rashan Gary (traded to the Dallas Cowboys) and Kingsley Enagbare (signed with the New York Jets), Dennis-Sutton can make an impact right away in Green Bay’s pass rush department.
Green Bay and the team’s fans have the offseason to get to know the rookie, who recorded 25.0 sacks in his final two seasons with the Nittany Lions.
Fans laud Packers rookie Dennis-Sutton’s gesture to fans
On Friday, Dennis-Sutton got to have a media session, but before taking questions, he made a gesture that sparked positive reactions from fans online.

“This is so refreshing and genuine!,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “In a day where players don’t play in bowl games, Deni did. That told me a lot.”
From a commenter: “One of the nicest guys I got to cover in Penn State media”
“They can’t make up character concerns about my damn GOAT,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “Stand up guy. Remember he played in the bowl game when he could have opted out. Best of luck to him.”
Said another: “True test…..have him go back one by one after and see how many he remembers. That’s class”
