NFL Network draft analyst has one Michigan State football player with a ‘draftable grade’

Michigan State football has had a long history of putting talent into the NFL draft, and while that has dipped slightly the last few years, specifically with the Spartans’ NFL draft streak ending, it looks like MSU will have another player drafted this year.

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said that the Spartans’ lone NFL combine invitee, center Nick Samac, has a ‘late draftable grade’ from him.

Quotes: Tom Izzo reviews Michigan State basketball’s home loss to Iowa

It was a frustrating night for the Spartans, as Michigan State basketball yet again suffers a tough loss this year after going on a nice run.

Two steps forward, one step back seems to be the theme of this year, and that was very much the case on Tuesday night, when MSU lost to Iowa 78-71 after they just won two straight road games and beat a good Illinois team at home.

After the game, MSU head coach Tom Izzo spoke to the media about the loss and his thoughts on the game, and you can find the notable quotes from that session below.

WATCH: Tom Izzo’s full post-game press conference following MSU’s win over Penn State

Following his team’s win over Penn State on Wednesday night on the road, Tom Izzo was in an interesting position. Michigan State basketball accomplished something that has all but eluded them this year: they got a road win. But at times, they looked sloppy, his star players, A.J. Hoggard and Tyson Walker, didn’t really show up all game, and they nearly let the lead slip away on numerous occasions.

But, the team still came away with a very important road win, a loss here would’ve been rather devastating considering how the season has gone, and they still largely handled the Nittany Lions for the full game.

In his post game press conference, which you can see below, you can watch as Izzo tries to make sense of a victory for his team that never felt great, despite them being in control nearly the whole time.

Michigan State basketball took care of business last night at Penn State for a very important road win, something that has been very difficult for them, and many other teams around the country, to obtain this season.

After the game, Penn State head coach Mike Rhoades, who joined the program after six highly regarded seasons with VCU, spoke to the media about his team, and I thought he had a lot of interesting things to say about Michigan State and how his program might someday be able to get closer to the level of Tom Izzo’s program.
