N.C. State had three players taken in the NFL draft last year but only a total of four in the past three years.
The Wolfpack will add to its list of former players in the pros this week in the draft, which starts Thursday with the first round and continues through Saturday’s last four rounds.
Safety Josh Jones will likely be the first N.C. State player, and second Triangle player (behind UNC quarterback Mitch Trubisky), to hear his name called at this year’s draft.
Running back Matt Dayes and cornerback Jack Tocho are also likely to get drafted.
