INDIANAPOLIS — Tyler Vaughns expected to hear his name called last weekend.
Believed he’d hear it called at some point. Maybe he didn’t have the eye-popping Pro Day numbers posted by some of the other wide receivers in the class.
But he did have production: 222 catches, 2,801 yards, 20 touchdowns. If the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t cut the Pac-12’s 2020 season in half, Vaughns likely would have broken Robert Woods’ program record for career receptions.
Thirty-six receivers were drafted last weekend. Vaughns wasn’t one of them.
“It was something that was sad and unsettling for me and my family, but it’s something I had to adjust to quickly,” Vaughns said.
