As the NFL Draft slowly crept its way to a conclusion Saturday, things started heating up for former Michigan State players.
A day after running back Kenneth Walker III went in the second round to the Seattle Seahawks, fellow Spartans Jalen Nailor and Connor Heyward heard their names called late in the sixth round. Offensive lineman AJ Arcuri went one round later, No. 261 overall, to the Los Angeles Rams.
Nailor, who opted to forgo his final season of eligibility at Michigan State, saw that decision pay off when the wide receiver was taken in the sixth round by the Minnesota Vikings.
