Joe Bachie, Raequan Williams among big group of Spartans to land NFL opportunities after draft

It turned out to be a busy day on Saturday for former Michigan State players, even if only two were selected on the final day of the NFL Draft.

The streak of having at least one player taken was extended to 80 years when cornerback Josiah Scott, who opted to leave Michigan State after his junior season, was selected in the fourth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars, going No. 137 overall. Later, defensive end Kenny Willekes was taken in the seventh round (No. 225 overall) by the Minnesota Vikings.
