The Michigan State Spartans had two players drafted in the 2019 NFL Draft — Justine Layne in the third round to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Khari Willis in the fourth round to the Indianapolis Colts. Admittedly, I expected Layne to go in the second round, and I expected at least one more Spartan to be drafted. The Colts traded up to pick No. 109 for Willis, which is right around where I expected him to go.
Several other Spartans signed unrestricted free agent contracts and will get a chance to earn a roster spot if they are able to make an impression in camp.
