Two former Buffaloes had their dreams come true Friday evening on day two of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was drafted in the second round, 42nd overall, by the Jacksonville Jaguars and linebacker Davion Taylor was taken in the third round, 103rd overall, by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Jaguars bolster their offensive attack with the addition of Shenault Jr., while the Eagles will hope to add defensive versatility with the selection of Taylor.
Shenault Jr. had high expectations coming into the 2019-20 college football season and was projected as a first-round pick early in the year, drawing comparisons to first-round selections Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III and CeeDee Lamb, in addition to Atlanta Falcons’ wideout Julio Jones.
