NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The total of former Oregon players selected on the final day of the 2019 NFL Draft reached four Saturday when wide receiver Dillon Mitchell and defensive lineman Jalen Jelks were selected in the seventh round.
Mitchell became the seventh Oregon wide out to be drafted since 2000 when the Minnesota Vikings selected him with the 239th overall pick. Just two picks later, Jelks was selected by the Dallas Cowboys.
It marks the fifth time in the last eight years Oregon has had four or more players selected and the first time since 2013 that three defensive players have been taken.
