Who will be the next Wildcats in the pros?
Now that the 2015 NFL Draft is over and Northwestern had two former players drafted and five picked up as undrafted free agents, it's time to look forward to the 2016 NFL Draft. At this point, several Wildcats could possibly be taken next year.
Dan Vitale, Superback, Senior:
Probably Northwestern's best 2016 NFL prospect, Vitale has manned the superback position well over the past three years. He's an adept blocker and good receiver who can line up in the backfield, in the slot, or on the line.
