Danny Etling, the 4* headliner Purdue’s 2013 recruiting class, was drafted today in the 7th round by the New England Patriots, joining former Purdue teammate Ja’Whaun Bentley in the land of chowder and baked beans.
Etling came to Purdue with high expectations and appeared to be on the right track after an impressive true freshman campaign. Unfortunately, things fell apart for the strong armed Terre Haute native, as Purdue’s inability to even slow down a pass rush led to Etling mostly just running for his life and throwing the ball only in self defense as a Sophomore.
