Dani Dennis-Sutton to be ‘sponge’ around Packers teammate Micah Parsons
Dani Dennis-Sutton didn’t know the Packers were targeting him in the draft, but now he’ll have a chance to join defense with star Micah Parsons.
GREEN BAY – There’s a rule posted inside the defensive line meeting room at Penn State, an edict, something every great pass rusher to pass through that program tries to live by. Dani Dennis-Sutton lost track of how many times he saw the sign hanging on the wall. Before practice, he’d take a glance.
Helped him prepare like every day was game day. On Saturdays, he followed the Penn State pass rusher rule better than anyone last season. “Never lose one-on-ones,” Dennis-Sutton said.
“Or you at least never stay blocked. So if you’re getting blocked briefly, running to the ball, effort, effort, effort is all we teach. ” Dennis-Sutton is about to get a lot more one-on-one blocks in the Green Bay Packers defense.
