Bradley Chubb is poised to be N.C. State’s first NFL first-round draft pick in 12 years.
The defensive end is expected to go in the top 5 of Thursday’s first round, which starts at 8 p.m. Chubb, N.C. State coach Dave Doeren and a Wolfpack contingent made the trip to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for the draft.
Defensive end Mario Williams, the top pick in the 2006 draft, was the first in a trio of N.C. State picks in the first round that year. N.C. State hasn’t produced a first-round pick since.
Chubb was the ACC defensive player of the year in 2017 and won the Bronko Nagurski award for the nation’s top defensive player.
