Despite two towering figures headlining the San Diego State football team’s draft prospects, not one player from the Mesa heard their name called during the 2016 NFL Draft.
This was the first time in six years that no Aztec was selected in the NFL Draft.
Senior offensive linemen Darrell Greene and Pearce Slater were both projected as possible Day 3 picks over the three-day event by NFL.com.
Slater, a 6-foot-7, 333-pound tackle, was projected as a seventh or high value undrafted free agent by CBSSports.com. He would sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars shortly after the draft ended.
