Penn State’s track-speed deep threat who turned hustle into an NFL calling card
Dan Chisena is best known at Penn State for his rare straight-line speed and special-teams value, traits that helped him earn a scholarship and later reach the NFL after a late-blooming college career. In the 2019 season, he caught 3 passes for 66 yards for Penn State, but his real differentiator was versatility and high-motor effort rather than volume. For a team, he fits as a field-stretching, roster-fighting depth piece who can help on special teams; he’s less about box-score production and more about speed, effort, and role-player reliability.
