In 1951 -- Joe Paterno's second year as a Penn State assistant football coach -- no Penn State players were selected in any rounds of the NFL draft.

Although two players agreed to free agency deals yesterday -- safety Andrew Guman and kicker Robbie Gould -- no Penn State players were selected in the 2005 NFL draft, which concluded yesterday, thus ending the 53-year streak.
