After just one Missouri player was drafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, the program was only able to double the number a year later. Missouri saw just two former players taken in this week’s NFL Draft, as defensive tackle Terry Beckner was taken in the seventh round on Saturday, by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Quarterback Drew Lock went to the Denver Broncos on Friday in the second round.
