Syracuse Football: First round NFL Draft drought continues for the Orange

No real big shocker here, but it’s official no Syracuse football player was selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Orange are in the midst of a five-year drought, the last player selected was Justin Pugh back in the 2013 NFL Draft. Heck there’s only been five SU players selected this century in the first round.

Things haven’t been great for the Orange program, that’s no surprise, but it is a sad and harsh reality. Dino Babers can hopefully shift the conversation, but that’s a pipe dream until proven otherwise.
