Four of the biggest assets of Baylor’s 2014 football campaign are looking to make their names known at the professional level this season. With only two players drafted last season – quarterback Bryce Petty (fourth round, New York Jets) and linebacker Bryce Hager (seventh round, St. Louis Rams) – Baylor also saw receivers Antwan Goodley and Levi Norwood picked up as undrafted free agents by the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears, respectively.
Bryce Petty was the fifth quarterback and 103rd overall player selected in the 2015 NFL draft by the New York Jets. Although the Jets boast arguably the worst quarterback situation in the league, head coach Todd Bowles admitted that Petty was not selected as an immediate savior.
