Huskies OT Kaleb McGary taken by Atlanta Falcons in first round of NFL Draft

After Washington’s pro day earlier this month, offensive tackle Kaleb McGary said he had more than a dozen visits scheduled with NFL teams.

One of those teams was reportedly the Atlanta Falcons, who selected McGary with the No. 31 pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday. McGary was the only Husky taken in the first round.

Heading into the draft, NFLDraftScout.com senior analyst Rob Rang wrote that McGary was “as pro-ready as this class gets at offensive tackle with the size, athleticism and toughness to project as a plug and play starter at right tackle.
