Remember Greg Eslinger and Mark Setterstrom? Eslinger was a three-time first-team All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection and the recipient of both the Outland Trophy, which is given to college football's best interior lineman, and the Rimington Trophy, awarded to college football's top center, as a senior. Setterstrom was a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection and a second-team All-American. Both were drafted to the NFL.
That was 2006. Flash forward to 2017.
In the decade since Eslinger and Setterstrom graduated, the Minnesota Golden Gophers haven’t had a single offensive lineman selected in the NFL Draft.
