The 2016 National Football League player selection meeting, more commonly known as the NFL draft, begins tonight and will run through Saturday. Players from across college football will be hoping to hear their name called at the podium in Chicago, including a number of former Bulldogs.

A number of former Tech players will be among those looking to have their NFL dreams realized. Three in particular, Vernon Butler, Kenneth Dixon and Jeff Driskel, are projected to go in the first five rounds with a few others expected to go in the later rounds or sign with teams after the draft.
