It’s been a tough time for Arizona Football and its fans these past few years, as Wildcats and the NFL have been complete strangers. Perhaps that trend can be reversed starting at this years’ NFL Draft.
So just how distant have things been between Arizona and the NFL? Well, since 2012, Arizona has had just nine draft picks. Of those nine draft picks, only four remain on NFL rosters at this time.
Their highest draft pick in that stretch, is former Super Bowl winner and MVP Nick Foles. Foles of course was drafted in the 3rd round, 88th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, but recently signed a huge deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
