Mizzou draftees praised by their new coaches, execs

This past weekend was #good for the Mizzou brand, as the Tigers put five new players in the NFL by the way of the draft. As BK (and many others) pointed out yesterday, it’s the most prolific draft for Mizzou since 2015.

#Mizzou’s largest NFL Draft class since ‘15:
- Bolton was MU’s first top 100 LB since Gooden.
- Gillespie & Bledsoe were first MU safeties selected since Willy Mo.
- Borom is MU’s 5th OL selected since ‘14.
- Rountree is MU’s highest RB picked since ‘05. https://t.
