When it comes to the Arizona Wildcats’ recent draft performance, there’s no debate: it stinks.
The UA failed to have a player taken in the 2020 NFL Draft that ended Saturday, the fourth time that’s happened since 2013. Since 2010 only 15 Wildcats have been picked, second-fewest in the Pac-12, and 2016 was the last time they had multiple players selected.
That all could change in 2021 if Arizona’s next batch of draft-eligible players continues to develop. And there’s a lot of them.
Of the 80 scholarship athletes on the current roster, 46 would be eligible (at least three years removed from high school) for the 2021 draft including 19 seniors.
