Derrick Puni comes from a school you’ve probably never heard of, but he hopes that doesn’t make him go unnoticed as a 6-foot-6, 320-pound offensive lineman prospect for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Puni was a three-year starter for Central Missouri, a Division-II program in Warrensburg, Missouri. When Puni wasn’t sidelined with injuries that riddled his career, he garnered three All-America honors, including two this past season with AFCA and D2football.com.
Puni talked about his time at Central Missouri, where he battled injuries and contemplated transferring to a larger school, and what life has been like for him while preparing for the NFL Draft in Tampa, Florida.
