Boise State has produced some outstanding running backs in recent years, and now two of them are in the same NFL backfield.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Jeremy McNichols with the 162nd overall pick in the fifth round, where he will join Doug Martin, another former Bronco great.
Around Tampa Bay’s facility, he will have friendly faces in head coach Dirk Koetter, the former Boise State coach, and scout Antwon Murray, a former Boise State cornerback. McNichols also tweeted Saturday night that two other former teammates will join the team as undrafted free agents.
“It wasn’t too much of a surprise,” McNichols said.
