NFL Draft Updates: Tedric Thompson Drafted in Fourth Round
BOULDER – Colorado Buffalo safety Tedric Thompson was drafted Saturday by the Seattle Seahawks with the fourth pick in the fourth round, No. 111 overall, in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Following Chidobe Awuzie and Ahkello Witherspoon's selections in the second and third round of the draft of Friday, Thompson gives CU three defensive backs to go in the draft. This is the fourth time in the common draft era (since 1967) that CU has seen three defensive backs selected in the same NFL Draft; the others were in the 2000, 1980 and 1977 season.
CU is joined by Florida, Michigan, Ohio State and Washington as schools in this year's draft to have three defensive backs selected.
