Why the NFL draft will be a showcase for NC State's football program | News & Observer

Dave Doeren is going to the NFL draft on Thursday night to see the first of what could be as many as eight N.C. State players selected.

Defensive end Bradley Chubb, a projected top-5 pick, is expected to lead a parade of Wolfpack draftees over the three-day event. The first round starts at 8 p.m on Thursday from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

For the N.C. State coach, the draft is the culmination of a process that has been five years in the making.

“It’s what they’ve been talking about since we recruited them,” Doeren said.
