The Football Letter Podcast Special: Brandon Bell / Houston Chapter
The 2016 Big Ten Championship squad is undoubtedly one of the most memorable teams in Penn State history. In part one (0:55) of this week's episode of The Football Letter Podcast, we're joined by one of the 2016 team captains, Brandon Bell!
Having worn the iconic No. 11 jersey, Brandon finished his Nittany Lion career with 225 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 4 fumble recoveries and 4 interceptions.
Brandon joined the show to discuss his post-playing career in the media industry -- he now works as Broadcast Assistant with the National Basketball Association -- memories from that iconic 2016 season, how Penn State prepared him for the NFL, and much more.
