NORFOLK (WAVY) – Bobby Wilder strongly believed Zach Pascal, one of the most prolific receivers in Old Dominion’s eight-year history, would hear his named called in last weekend’s NFL Draft, and in so doing, become the first Monarch ever to be drafted. The draft came and went, and still, ODU’s young program is still waiting for that first ever draft pick.

Still, three former Monarchs, Pascal, Rashaad Coward and Anthony Wilson, all found NFL homes as undrafted free-agents. Pascal, who grew up eight miles from FedEx Field, signed with his hometown Washington Redskins.
