A year ago, former Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook watched player after player get selected in the NFL draft, waiting two full days and four rounds before hearing his name called.
The winningest quarterback in Michigan State history was, many believed, a first-round talent. However, he plummeted in the draft as there were questions about not only the health of his throwing shoulder but his leadership after never being a captain in his time with the Spartans.
A similar drop could be in store for another Spartan as the NFL Draft gets rolling on Thursday from Philadelphia.
