The first round of the 2024 NFL draft on Thursday night was an eventful one for former LSU Tigers.
In total, three were taken in the first 32 picks — quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] (second overall, Washington Commanders), receiver [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] (sixth overall, New York Giants) and receiver [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] (23rd overall, Jacksonville Jaguars) — marking the most LSU players drafted in the first round since 2020.
It was also the first time LSU had two top-10 picks since 2017, and the Tigers became the first program in the modern era to have a quarterback and receiver tandem both picked in the top 10, though that feat was matched later the same night by Washington.
Daniels, Nabers and Thomas all attended the draft in person in Detroit and went on stage to shake commissioner Roger Goodell’s hand. Here are the best photos from their special night at the draft.
