Boise State has produced 10 straight seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher, and now the Bronco that produced the last two can add another big achievement — NFL Draft pick.
The Minnesota Vikings selected running back Alexander Mattison with the final pick of the third round, making him the fourth Boise State back selected since 2012.
Mattison rushed for 1,415 yards last season as a junior, scoring 17 touchdowns on the ground. He opted to forgo his senior year following the end of the 2018 season. Boise State came into the draft as one of only 10 programs that had an early entrant selected in at least five straight years.
