NFL draft: Michigan State football's Jalen Nailor drafted by Minnesota Vikings in Round 6

Jalen Nailor is the latest in a long line of Michigan State football wide receivers to get picked in the NFL draft.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Nailor with the 191st pick of the sixth round on Saturday in Las Vegas after the native of Palmdale, California, turned pro with two years of eligibility remaining.

Injuries kept Nailor sidelined for long stretches of his MSU career (he played 28 games with 21 starts in four seasons). That included undisclosed injuries as a freshman in 2018 that cost him five games, a foot injury in 2019 that limited him to four games and allowed him to redshirt, then four games in 2021 with a right hand injury.
