A historic senior class paved the way for Western Michigan’s memorable 13-1 season and Cotton Bowl appearance. This weekend, several stars from the team will hear their names called on the stage at the NFL Draft in Philadelphia.
Offensive tackle Taylor Moton will likely be the second Bronco to be selected by an NFL franchise, following first-round talent wide receiver Corey Davis.
Moton’s presence in Kalamazoo was crucial to the incremental rise of the program. A four-year starter, the former guard experienced a 1-11 record and two 8-5 seasons before reaching the near-summit of college football in 2016 — a conference championship and Cotton Bowl berth.
