New York Jets select Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald IV in 1st round of NFL Draft

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets selected Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald with the No. 15 overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night.

McDonald was one of college football's most prolific pass rushers during his career with the Cyclones, racking up 34 sacks.

The Wisconsin native joins an already stout defensive line in New York, which includes All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and ends/edge rushers Carl Lawson, John Franklin-Myers, Bryce Huff, Jermaine Johnson and Micheal Clemons. The Jets also signed D-lineman Quinton Jefferson in free agency.

More talent coming to this defense!
