Predictably, Posluszny had high praise for Joe Paterno. “He never taught me how to play linebacker, but he made me a better person and taught me how to be a professional. Everything he did prepared us for something bigger than football.”
Just as predictably, Posluszny’s thoughts on Jerry Sandusky weren’t so kind. “We thought he was a saint. We saw him all the time. We would volunteer at his summer camps for The Second Mile. When we first heard of the allegations against him, we said, ‘There’s just no way.’ Then, the details emerged and we were like, ‘How did he fool us like that?’ ”
Odd for Jerry Sandusky to even be brought up in an interview with a guy that played after Sandusky left the coaching staff. Seems like a weird divergence in an otherwise nice article.
