Arizona football: Several Wildcats in play for 2017 NFL Draft

Rich Rodriguez will start to produce more NFL talent as his stronger recruiting classes develop

Rich Rodriguez has had five NFL draft picks in his first four years as the head coach of the Arizona Wildcats. Not exactly a great statistic, but all along, particularly when his team reached the Fiesta Bowl in 2014, folks were saying that Rodriguez was winning without a whole lot of talent. He was getting the most out of Mike Stoops' remaining guys, as well as his own first few recruiting classes.

As Arizona's recruiting classes come along, the NFL Draft production will get better.
