NFL Draft 2018: Where are N.J. football stars headed?

A number of former New Jersey high school stars had their name called in the 2018 NFL Draft. Former Red Bank Catholic star Quenton Nelson led the cast, going 6th overall in Round 1 to the Indianapolis Colts. Former St. Peter's Prep star Minkah Fitzpatrick followed shortly after, going 11th overall in Round 1 to the Miami Dolphins.

Those were N.J.'s only two first-round selections this year, but check out the slideshow below to find out what other N.J. players were drafted and several others who did not hear their name called, but latched on to NFL teams as undrafted free agents.
