14 former JUCO stars hear their names called
The 2020 draft is complete and it was yet another banner year for former junior college players getting drafted into the NFL. Congrats to all of the players and best of luck with your professional careers.
We saw two players taken in the opening round with former Jones College defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw and former Sierra College wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk both taken by the San Francisco 49ers.
One program had two players drafted as East Mississipi College saw former players Tyre Phillips and Brian Cole selected. Phillips went to the Baltimore Ravens in the third round while Phillips went to the Minnesota Vikings in the seventh round.
