The first MAC prospect is finally off the board, and he is heading east to the rivers and bridges of Steel City.
Western Michigan offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor finally heard his name announced by former Steelers offensive tackle Max Starks on Friday night at AT&T Stadium.
The former First Team All-American (Phil Steele, FWAA) was the ninth offensive tackle selected in the 2018 Draft when the Pittsburgh Steelers took him off the board with the 92nd overall pick. Okorafor was the fourth Steelers pick this draft.
This marks the third consecutive year where a Western Michigan offensive lineman has been drafted in the first four rounds.
