The NFL Draft has finally arrived and sports fans across the country as salivating for video of Roger Goodell in his basement. (Imagine if I pulled you aside three months ago and read you that sentence.)
Michigan State has a long tradition of sending players to the NFL Draft, with a Spartan being selected in 79 (soon to be 80) straight drafts. There is an absolutely microscopic chance a Spartan goes in the first round of this year’s draft, but the program does have a nice history of players getting selected in the top 32.
A total of eight former Spartans have heard their names called in the first round of the NFL Draft since 1999 and that includes a couple of rough years during the Bobby Williams and John L. Smith days.
Before we start the list, can you name all eight?
