Travis Feeney became the first Washington Husky selected in the 2016 NFL draft when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the sixth round (No. 220 overall) on Saturday afternoon.
Feeney, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound outside linebacker, was an all-Pac-12 second-team selection in 2015, when he he had a team-best eight sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss, ranking third in the Pac-12 in both.
Draft projections had Feeney going anywhere from the second to the seventh round.
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where you’re drafted; it just matters that you get on the team and show what you got,” Feeney said earlier this week.
