BYU football: Sitake effect? Cougs could have two taken in NFL Draft

Tight end Dennis Pitta (Baltimore Ravens) and running back Harvey Unga (Chicago Bears) were drafted in 2010, but Pitta was taken in the regular draft and Unga in the supplemental draft.

That streak could end on Saturday, when rounds 4-7 are held at the 3,000-seat, open-air theater constructed along Benjamin Franklin Parkway — with the famed "Rocky" steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the background.

According to most draft experts, BYU running back Jamaal Williams and Cougars linebacker Harvey Langi will likely be taken, probably in the middle or late rounds. Both seniors participated in February's NFL combine in Indianapolis.
