Toledo’s secondary made quite the splash in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
With the 172nd overall pick, the San Francisco 49ers dove into the Rust Belt and selected Toledo cornerback Samuel Womack.
Womack’s selection comes six picks after his teammate Tycen Anderson was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals. Womack and Anderson make program history as the first pair of Toledo defensive backs selected in the same NFL Draft. Additionally, the duo is the first MAC secondary pairing to each warrant NFL Draft selections since Sean Murphy-Bunting and Xavier Crawford were chosen out of Central Michigan in 2019.
