Purdue Football: DeAngelo Yancey To The Packers

Our first, and probably only, Boilermaker heard his name called today.

DeAneglo Yancey was drafted in the 5th round with the 175th overall pick to the Green Bay Packers (Juan is excited).

Many didn’t think that we would hear a Boilermaker’s name get called today. I kind of had a gut feeling that Yancey would go in the 6th or 7th, as his production, size and speed are all above average. His pro day was great too in West Lafayette, where scouts came to watch him.

During his Senior year, DeAngelo had 49 catches for 951 yards, 10 touchdowns and a 19.
