Penn State-Ohio State, USC-Utah feature well-known offensive standouts, but they're also loaded with future NFL stars on defense. We break down the best.
8 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports appBut overshadowed by all this focus on the so-called"skill-position" players are some terrific NFL prospects on defense. That's what we're going to focus on here.Let's take a look at the top five NFL prospects on defense in each of these two critical conference showdowns.
The Nittany Lions lead the country in sacks per game, averaging 4.5 over their first six contests. Robinson"only" has three of his team's 27 sacks over that span, but his explosiveness generates many more big plays than his personal statistics suggest. He offers an exciting combination of burst, power and flexibility, with a compact frame that allows him to line up inside and out, up in the two-point stance, or with his hand in the dirt.
Like most of the Buckeyes, Williams signed as a highly regarded recruit. He's earned Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors after each of his first two seasons in Columbus and is well on his way toward even higher acclaim this season.

That is because his father, Luther, played a decade in the league for theThose NFL bloodlines virtually guaranteed that Elliss would be heavily scouted, but he is a legitimate prospect on his own merits, demonstrating the pass rush arsenal that should make his father proud.
Utah has developed quite the reputation for developing linemen throughout the Kyle Whittingham era, but its pipeline to the NFL from the secondary is also impressive, with nine defensive backs drafted over the past decade. Perhaps that track record is what lured Bishop — who starred at the prep level in the football-loving state of Georgia — out West, where he since has earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors each of the past two seasons.
