Prior to the start of the 2016 NFL draft on Thursday evening, all signs pointed to Georgia football alumni in this year’s draft performing well. Signs also pointed to the New York Giants taking Leonard Floyd.
Some of these signs pointed to the truth while the chances of others happening faded away.
Floyd was taken early in the first round, as predicted, but the Giants lost their chance at snagging the talented outside linebacker when the Chicago Bears snatched him up, one pick ahead of the New York team.
The 6-foot-6, 244 pound rookie is easily the best pass rusher in the draft, and it’s not hard to see why the Bears decided to take him with their first pick in this year’s draft.
