The Arizona Wildcats’ inability to recruit and develop professional football players was reaffirmed on Saturday when the 2020 NFL Draft concluded and zero former UA players were picked.
It marked the first time since 2017—and fourth time since 2013—that Arizona failed to have at least one player drafted and the first draft that didn’t include a player coached by Kevin Sumlin since 2012.
The Wildcats were the only Pac-12 school without a selection and one of nine power conference schools without a draftee. The others were Duke, Illinois, Iowa State, Kansas State, Northwestern, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss and Rutgers.
