Former Washington Huskies linebacker Keishawn Bierria fulfilled a life long goal today, when the Oakland Raiders announced his selection with the 42nd pick in the 6th round (216 overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Keishawn was a three-year starter for the Huskies and was a reliable cog in the defense. He led the country in fumble recoveries in 2016 during Washington’s run to the College Football Playoff. He struggled at the NFL combine where he finished above the 50th percentile among ILB’s in only one category (broad jump).
