They had to wait until the final round, but a pair of Mississippi State Bulldogs finally heard their names called in the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Defensive lineman Marquiss Spencer was chosen with the event's 253rd overall pick by the Denver Broncos. Running back Kylin Hill went 256th overall to the Green Bay Packers. It's the 12th straight year in which at least one MSU player has been picked in the NFL Draft and it's the 60th time in MSU's history that the Bulldogs have had multiple players selected in the same NFL Draft.
Spencer was a two-year starter for the Bulldogs.
