Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg and defensive tackle Austin Johnson declared Saturday that they will both enter the NFL Draft and skip their final year of eligibility with the Nittany Lions.

Hackenberg made his announcement after the junior was knocked out of Saturday's TaxSlayer Bowl with a shoulder injury. Coach James Franklin said during his news conference after the Nittany Lions' 24-17 loss to Georgia that Hackenberg suffered a sprained shoulder joint.

"This place means a lot to me," Hackenberg said. "It's been an awesome ride, tough way to end it today. It means the world to me.
