BYU’s third player of the 2023 NFL Draft is off the board as WR Puka Nacua was drafted by the LA Rams with the 177 overall pick in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.
Puka had some nagging injuries during his college career, but he was BYU’s best receiver after showing flashes in his two years at Washington. He led BYU in receiving yards in both 2021 and 2022, with 1,430 yards to go along with 91 receptions and 11 receiving touchdowns. Nacua also became part of the running game last season in Provo with fly sweeps and even carries out of the backfield.
