LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr. was selected in the first round 3rd overall by the Houston Texans.
Stingley extends LSU’s streak of consecutive years of a player picked in the first round to four and he is the 49th first rounder in school history. Stingley also extends LSU’s run on former DBs picked, as LSU now has had one taken in eight straight years and 15 of the last 16. Stingley is the highest drafted defensive back since the 2017 draft when Jamal Adams was picked sixth by the New York Jets.
Stingley arrived at LSU as one of the most can’t miss prospects in recent memory and largely lived up to the billing.
