PISCATAWAY – True to form, neither Tyler Kroft nor Michael Burton is hosting a big NFL Draft party, though both former understated Rutgers football stars are about to receive the gift of their dreams.
Kroft likely will be selected between the third and fifth rounds and Burton could be taken after that or be available as an in-demand free agent as soon as the NFL Draft concludes. The draft is set for Thursday (first round), Friday (second and third rounds) and Saturday (fourth-seventh rounds) in Chicago.
“We are planning on keeping it low key,” said Kroft, who will be with family and close friends.
