Syracuse’s history of second round NFL Draft picks

On Friday night, we’re highly likely to hear at least one Syracuse Orange name called during the NFL Draft. Ifeatu Melifonwu is widely considered a player that could be selected, as cover corners are always a need. Andre Cisco has a shot to go in the second as well, based on whoever puts a premium on acquiring a playmaking safety. If not, then he’ll also be selected tonight, in the third round.

Obviously neither would be the program’s first player to be selected in the second round. Syracuse has had 21 picked there, dating back to 1954.
