Two players many Kansas fans thought had a shot of being drafted were defensive tackle Daniel Wise and inside linebacker Joe Dineen.
Both Dineen and Wise were team captains and helped provide leadership on a defense that saw tremendous turnover from 2017 to 2018 (no pun intended).
Joe Dineen Jr.
Dineen was the first Jayhawk to sign after the draft, signing with the Denver Broncos.
Dineen led all Division I players in solo tackles in 2018, totaling 109. He consistently found the player with the ball and very rarely missed a tackle.
