Former Arkansas defensive lineman Jonathan Marshall is the first Razorbacks player selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Marshall, a team captain in Sam Pittman’s first season at Arkansas, was drafted by the New York Jets in the sixth round on Saturday with the No. 207 overall pick. His selection marks the third consecutive draft in which the Razorbacks have had a defensive lineman taken.
The Denver Broncos drafted McTelvin Agim in the third round in 2020, and the Minnesota Vikings took Armon Watts in the sixth round in 2019. Marshall (6-3, 310) is the fifth Arkansas defensive lineman to be drafted since 2017.
