CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College defensive lineman Zach Allen was selected with the 65th pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft Friday night by the Arizona Cardinals. Allen is the second Boston College player taken in the 2019 NFL Draft after Chris Lindstrom went 14th overall in the first round Thursday to the Atlanta Falcons.
Since 1980, Boston College had at least one player drafted every year except 2005 and 2013. The Eagles have had multiple players selected in the NFL Draft in six consecutive years under head coach Steve Addazio.
