Arizona’s long offensive lineman draft drought could end with Jordan Morgan
Arizona’s poor recent NFL Draft history is well-chronicled, with no Wildcats picked in five of the last 10 years and only six getting selected since 2013.
It’s even worse when it comes to offensive linemen. The last UA lineman to get drafted was Eben Britton, by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third round in 2009, one of only four ex-Wildcat blockers to get picked this century.
Jordan Morgan could change that if his 2022 season continues to show the progression he’s had throughout his career. The 6-foot-5, 328-pound fourth-year junior tackle is ranked as the 35th-best draft-eligible offensive lineman by NFLDraftBuzz, which projects him as a fifth-round pick in 2023.
