Tulane’s Sample, Johnson get taken on Day 3 of 2021 NFL Draft

Green Wave fans didn’t have to wait quite as long this year to see one of their guys selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. In fact it was the shortest wait they’d had since Matt Forte was chosen by the Bears in 2008. When the Cincinnati Bengals came calling in the fourth round on Saturday afternoon, defensive end Cameron Sample was there to eagerly receive it.

The moment dreams became reality.

Sample was selected with the 111th overall pick in this year’s draft and it should come to little surprise.
