For the first time since Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in 2008, Arkansas has a player taken in the first round of the NFL Draft, as Frank Ragnow was selected by the Detroit Lions.
Ragnow has gone through some major ups and downs through his time at Arkansas both on and off the field, so it’s great to see him rewarded with this high of a pick. Ragnow was consistently rated as one of the highest offensive linemen in the SEC despite the struggles of the rest of the offensive line.
