With the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, it is time to look ahead to the upcoming 2021 football season. 14 former BYU Cougars found NFL homes over the weekend, be it via the draft, being signed as an undrafted free agent or receiving a minicamp invitation.
Of course, the headline was Zach Wilson becoming the face of the New York Jets overnight and getting taken second overall by the embattled franchise, the highest any BYU player has ever been selected.
Four other BYU alums were drafted, Brady Christensen went in the third round to the Panthers.
