Colorado Buffaloes defensive lineman Jordan Carrell has been drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. At pick 246 he was the fourth Buff taken in this year’s draft behind his defensive backs Tedric Thompson, Ahkello Witherspoon and future teammate in Dallas Chidobe Awuzie.
Their college coach Mike MacIntyre has some great connections in Dallas and it obviously paid off. For a school looking to make Texas part of their pipeline in recruiting, having two Buffs on their most rooted for football team isn’t going to hurt.
This also marks the first time since 1998 that the Buffs have had four defensive players selected in the same draft.
