2021 NFL Draft: 5 former Tigers selected, matching Mizzou's largest draft class since 2009
Missouri football produced one of its largest draft classes of the past decade, with five former Tigers being selected during the 2021 NFL Draft this weekend.
The class matches the number drafted out of the program in 2015, but was one short of the Tigers' six-player 2009 draft class. Chase Daniel, who went undrafted in '09, is the only Missouri player to enter the draft process that year who is still in the NFL.
After the Chiefs selected Nick Bolton in the second round as the only Tiger taken Friday, four Missouri alums were claimed during the latter four rounds of the draft Saturday.
