This past weekend was good to members of the defending back-to-back Conference USA champions hoping to make the NFL. Eight total former Hilltoppers will have an opportunity to make an NFL roster for the upcoming season.
Some have a better chance than others based on their situations, but we could very well see the amount of Western Kentucky players in the pros double by the time the season rolls around.
Lamp became the highest-ever Hilltopper selected and highest-ever Conference USA offensive lineman selected despite falling to the second round to the surprise of just about every person who made a mock draft.
