For the first time since 2003 and '04, the Arizona Wildcats haven't had any players selected in consecutive NFL Drafts.
For the second straight season, none of Arizona's draft-eligible players were taken. It's the first time since 2003 and '04 that Arizona didn't have any players selected in consecutive NFL Drafts.
Even Princeton, the school that upset Arizona's men's basketball program in the NCAA Tournament, had one player heard their name called during the final four rounds of the draft on Saturday. Fortunately for Arizona, the Wildcats will likely have multiple picks in the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. Among the possible leaders: Offensive tackle Jordan Morgan, running back Michael Wiley, wide receiver Jacob Cowing, tight end Tanner McLachlan and quarterback Jayden de Laura, among others. Morgan was expected to leave Arizona this year, but a season-ending knee injury against UCLA forced him to return.
After the Falcons took Robinson eighth overall on Thursday, making him the highest-selected Tucsonan in NFL Draft history, he took a private jet with his family on Friday to Atlanta, where he held an introductory press conference. "When I was in high school, Arizona football was a big deal. ... Arizona football is definitely coming up on the map," Robinson said."Obviously Georgia has so much talent here, but it was fun playing high school football in Arizona. ... It was amazing playing down there and I think it's coming up to be something."
