Louisiana-Lafayette has its first player off the board.
The Detroit Lions selected Ragin' Cajuns safety Tracy Walker with the 82nd overall pick in the third round Friday night.
The 6-foot-1, 206-pound standout became the highest player taken from the Ragin' Cajuns since 2012 when defensive back Dwight Bentley was taken in the third round by the Lions.
Walker's selection also marks the second year in a row that a Louisiana-Lafayette player was taken in the Draft. The New York Jets selected running back Elijah McGuire in the sixth round of the 2017 draft.
He's the fourth player to be taken from a Louisiana school following the three LSU players, Donte Jackson, Derrius Guice and DJ Chark who were selected in the second round.
