NFL Draft Wrap up: Arizona Wildcats signed by NFL Teams

It was a seemingly busy Saturday for quite a few Wildcats this past weekend. As I’m sure we’re all well aware of Scooby Wright, and Will Parks getting drafted, a few former Arizona Football players also found themselves on NFL Rosters following the draft.

Making an NFL Roster is difficult, I mean extremely difficult. First, there were only 253 picks in this years’ draft., three fewer picks than in 2015. Keep in mind; NFL rosters can only have 53 players on a roster (not including practice squad players), so there isn’t a ton of room on teams to make sure there’s a roster spot.
