Bernhard Raimann’s American football journey, which has taken him from being a wide receiver with a local club team in his native Austria, to one of the best draft prospects of the 2022 NFL Draft class, will continue apace at the professional level, as he became Central Michigan tackle to be selected in the first three rounds on Thursday night, with the Indianapolis Colts taking him 77th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Raimann joins fellow Chippewa alum Joe Staley (who he worked out with in draft preparations), Eric Fisher and Luke Goedeke (who was selected with the 57th pick of this year’s draft) as CMU tackles to hear their names called under the primetime lights.
