Three Cougars selected during NFL draft

NFL Draft weekend has come and gone after a flurry of picks. Young athletes from across the country waited to see if their name was called after years of hard work and months of preparation.

This year’s crop from the Cougars included outside linebacker Tyus Bowser and cornerbacks Howard Wilson and Brandon Wilson.

Now, each player will get to know his respective team and put himself to the test to see if he can make the 53-man roster by the beginning of next season. Of course, a career is in no way guaranteed for these young prospects; just getting a chance is a major feat.
