MWC players then others in the 2020 NFL draft

MWC: RD1: #Jordan.Love QB from Utah St went the the Packers . RD2: Ezra Cleveland, OL from Boise St went to the Vikings . RD3 Logan Wilson LB from Wyoming to Bengals
SunBelt: RD2: Robert Hunt OL from LA Laf to the Fins. RD3 Darrynton Evans RB from AppSt went to the Titans.
AAC: RD3 Antonio Gibson RB from Memphis went to the Redskins. Josh Jones OL from Houston went to the Cardinals. Matt Hennesy OL from Temple went to the Falcons. Josiah DeGuera TE from Cincy went to the Packers. Matt Peart OL from UConn went to the Giants
CUSA: RD3 Alex Highsmith Edge rusher from Charlotte went to the Steelers.
MAC- No one taken in first three rounds. Maybe in the next few rounds?
Rounds 4 through 7 -what caught my attention
First MAC player drafted was in rd5. Danny Pinter, an OL from Ball St, went to the Colts
Justin Rohrwasser, a kicker fromMarshall (CUSA), went to the Pats
Cole McDonald, a prolific passer from Hawaii(MWC) didn't go to rd7 to the Titans.
Undrafted FA signings
I thought these O5 guys would've been drafted: Benny LeMay, RB, Charlotte(CUSA) signed by Browns. Michael Warren, RB, Cincinnati (AAC) signed by the Eagles, Patrick Taylor, RB, Memphis (AAC) signed by the Packers. Warren was the biggest surprise- In 38 games with the Bearcats, he ran for 2,918 yards and scored 34 rushing TDs

Grambling St is scheduled to be the Jags first opponent on Sept 12 at the South Alabama's new Hancock Whitney stadium. Maybe this will help the Jags recruit better. Jags have had one player drafted since 196o who played in the NFL . Rams drafted Gerald Everett in rd2 in 2017.

Big  Mack time in Chicago.  #LedariusMack , a FA DL from Buffalo U (MAC) , will get a chance to play alongside his  brother, Khalil, with the Chicago Bears.

 Pats signed  QB J’Mar Smith,  an undrafted FA from Louisiana Tech(CUSA). Talented kid that BB will play somewhere other than at  QB.

 Another Ju Ju in the league. Rams signed Ju Ju Hughes, a UFA  safety from Fresno St (MWC).
June 23, 2020
Rams also signed the other Love. Josh Love, San Jose St QB and MWC Offensive Player of the Year (2019).
June 25, 2020
Saints signed Jordan Steckler, ALL MAC  OL from  Northern Illinois. Brees needs all the protection he can get.

I missed this earlier. Two Charlotte (CUSA) players were drafted. Defensive end Alex Highsmith was taken by the Steelers in the third round and offensive lineman Cameron Clark went in the fourth round to the Jets. Ol Miss will become the first SEC team to play the 49ers at home and it will also mark the first meeting between the programs.It's part of a 2026 and 2027 home and home series.
July 9
I was reading a column that had Brent Brennan, the SJST HC, on the hot seat and started wondering about SJST players who have played in  the NFL. Steve Deberg, who was drafted by Dallas in 1977,  stands out. He played for a few teams,  and was the QB for Denver in the 1983 playoffs and KC in the1990, and 1991 playoffs.
Oct 6
Remember when the Packers use of a rd1 pick for Jordan Love , a QB, was going to cause problems. GB is 4-0. Rodgers tossed four TD passes in last night's win over Atlanta.
