Anthony Brown Drafted by Dallas Cowboys in 6th Round

We been waiting all day, but we finally get to hear the name of a Boilermaker called in this year's draft.

Cornerback Anthony Brown was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 6th round (189 overall, 14th in round) and the Cowboys made a trade with the Oakland Raiders. Brown becomes the second Boilermaker drafted by the Cowboys in recent years, as Ryan Russell was selected by them last year in the 5th round (163 overall).

It was expected for Brown to be selected in the draft, as he was the only Boilermaker invited to the NFL Combine a few months ago, where he put up impressive numbers.
