Over the years, the Minnesota Gophers have enjoyed plenty of success in the college football world. While they have never won a major championship, they've certainly prepared a number of top stars for the National Football League. With the 2016 NFL Draft fast approaching, we take a look at some of the more recent ex-Gophers to make it in the NFL.
ISAAC FRUECHTE
Fruechte is living the local boy's dream. After leading Caledonia High School to two state championships, he made it into the University of Minnesota and got onto the Gophers side. During his first year, the wide receiver enjoyed plenty of success - making 19 catches for 256 yards and two touchdowns on his way to winning the Gophers' Wide Receiver of the Year award.
