Washington safety Taylor Rapp has been selected in the second round (61st overall pick) in the NFL draft, following Byron Murphy as the second defensive back from UW selected in this draft.
Since 2013, the Huskies have now had seven defensive backs selected in the first two rounds of the NFL draft. With Kaleb McGary, Byron Murphy, Drew Sample and now Rapp going in the first two rounds, the Huskies matched the program’s record for players taken in the first two rounds of any draft.
