FAYETTEVILLE -- Former Arkansas tailbacks Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins, who rushed for 4,216 rushing yards in the same backfield for two years, were both taken in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
The tailback tandem led a group of four Razorbacks picked on the third and final day of the draft in Chicago, with quarterback Brandon Allen and offensive guard Sebastian Tretola also being selected. All-America tight end Hunter Henry was Arkansas' first pick at No. 35 overall to San Diego on Friday.
Arkansas' five draft picks tied with eight other schools, including fellow SEC programs Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss, for eighth in the country behind Ohio State, which had 12 picks.
