In the age of the transfer portal, the colleges listed at the NFL Draft don’t necessarily tell a player’s entire journey to the NFL. Many of the 2023 draft selections had several stops before hearing their name called in Kansas City this weekend.
The Mid-American Conference was credited with seven draft picks, but several other standouts with ties to the league were also selected:
Jayden Reed, WR
Selected by Green Bay Packers, Round 2, Pick 50
- Western Michigan (2018)
- Michigan State (2019-22)
Reed launched his college career in Kalamazoo where he instantly made a name for himself as one of the most dangerous receivers in the MAC.
