FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt was selected by the New England Patriots in the fourth round with the 118th pick of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Froholdt is the fourth Razorbacks offensive lineman to be drafted since 2014, joining Travis Swanson, Sebastian Tretola and Frank Ragnow, who was the 20th overall pick of the Detroit Lions in 2018.
A Svendborg, Denmark, native, Froholdt was the first Danish player ever invited to the NFL Combine and is the second from his country to be drafted. Kicker Morten Andersen was the first in 1982.
Froholdt originally signed with Arkansas in 2014 as a defensive lineman out of IMG Academy.
