Two Spartans heard their names called during the 2020 NFL Draft and while that didn’t seem like enough considering the amount of potential prospects, it did extend Michigan State’s streak to 80 straight years with at least one player drafted.
Josiah Scott kept the streak alive with a fourth-round selection by the Jaguars and Kenny Willekes doubled down on it and was picked in round seven by the Vikings.
Other players were picked up by NFL teams as undrafted free agents such as Brian Lewerke who went to the Patriots, Joe Bachie went to the Saints, Darrell Stewart Jr.
