Six former Arkansas Razorback football players could be selected in the 2016 NFL Draft. Here are predictions as to where they might land.
The time is near, Hog fans. Six former Hogs: Brandon Allen, Alex Collins, Hunter Henry, Denver Kirkland, Sebastian Tretola and Jonathan Williams will all have the chance to enter the NFL and continue their football careers. We are all looking forward to the draft. Whether we see a player go in the first round or the last, it’s always great to watch an Arkansas Razorback become a professional.
The highest a Razorback has gone in the draft the past seven years is the third round. It looks like that stat should be broken with the drafting of Hunter Henry. Our former tight end is widely known as the best in the draft at his position, and should either be a first or second round pick. If Henry ends up going in the first, he will be the first Hog since Darren McFadden and Felix Jones to go that early.
Speaking of Jones and McFadden, they were the last time two Arkansas running backs had been chosen in the same draft. Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams might be the next backs to do so.
Brandon Allen is looking to be the first Arkansas quarterback drafted since 2013 when Tyler Wilson was selected in the fourth round by the Oakland Raiders.
Now’s the time when you, the readers, get to see where I’ve predicted our former Hogs will land on during the 2016 NFL Draft. Remember, none of my picks are guaranteed. I don’t recommend getting your hopes up because of what I think.
But if you disagree or believe I know nothing, be sure to yell at me.
