Louisiana-Monroe’s dynamic wide receiver/kick returner Marcus Green was the sole player from the Sun Belt to be selected in the 2019 NFL draft.
The 5-8, 191-pound playmaker was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round (203rd overall) on Saturday.
Green is the first Warhawk to be drafted since Trey Caldwell was selected by the Cleveland Browns in 2016, and the first offensive ULM player since wide receiver Marty Booker was picked by the Chicago Bears in 1999.
He finished his collegiate career with 202 catches for 2,698 yards and 23 touchdowns.
