During last year’s draft, UCLA Football was represented well as NFL teams drafted a total of 8 Bruins. Of course that draft did not happen without some good ol’ UCLA controversy.
Linebacker and overall talent Myles Jack was expected to go early in the first round of the draft. But due to an announcement he made before the draft started regarding the status of his knee, Jack’s draft stock fell to the second round.
To everyone’s surprise though, UCLA Football still had a player drafted in the first round as defensive lineman Kenny Clark was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 27th pick.
