6 Razorbacks poised to begin NFL careers this week

FAYETTEVILLE -- A half-dozen of Arkansas' top offensive players from the past three years are poised to begin NFL careers this week.

Led by tight end Hunter Henry, who most analysts project as the first Razorback to be taken in the draft, this year's draft hopefuls are tilted heavily to the offensive side.

Henry, the Mackey Award winner as the top tight end in the nation last year, is widely considered the best player at his position in the draft.

Running backs Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams combined for four 1,000-yard seasons, including Collins' 1,577 yards in 2015, and helped Arkansas establish itself as one of the SEC's top run offenses.
