It is not going to be a surprise to see a non-Playoff team with high-caliber stars make their decision to play in a bowl game or declare for the 2022 NFL Draft. Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson announced on his Twitter that he will be forgoing the Outback Bowl vs. No. 21 Arkansas and declaring for the 2022 NFL Draft.

Dotson finished his career with 183 receptions for 2,757 yards and 25 touchdowns. He had a huge senior season this year as he recorded 91 receptions for 1,182 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also rushed for a touchdown in the 33-24 loss at Ohio State.

Dotson’s tremendous production this season has earned him First-Team All-B1G honors. Last season, he was named as a Third-Team All-B1G.

Dotson is regarded by many NFL Draft analysts as one of the top receivers in the 2022 NFL Draft. Insider.ESPN.com has Dotson as the fifth-ranked receiver and the 24th rated overall prospect in the Draft.

Dotson would be the first Penn State wide receiver taken in the NFL Draft since K.J. Hamler was taken by the Denver Broncos in the second round (46th overall pick) in 2020.
