Former USF WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling Selected by the Green Bay Packers in Fifth Round of the 2018 NFL Draft

Former USF wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was selected by the Green Bay Packers in thefifth round with the 174th pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Beginning his collegiate career at NC State before transferring to USF in 2015, MVS played a vital role in the explosion of Willie Taggart’s Gulf Coast Offense in 2016 and the Bulls 10-2 campaign this past season.

“Interstate-11” set the school’s single season receiving record in 2017, hauling in 53 passes for 879 yards. Had the game versus UMass not been cancelled due to Hurricane Irma, he would’ve stood a good chance at becoming USF’s first 1,000 yard receiver.
