Column: Which Aztecs could hear their name called in the 2021 NFL Draft?

Playing in the NFL is a dream shared by any player who steps onto a football field. Despite a shortened college football season due to the pandemic, the 2021 NFL Draft will still occur in late April.

The pandemic staggered the schedules of some college football programs, and that was evident at San Diego State. Despite the Aztecs only competing in eight games, the NCAA has granted collegiate football student-athletes an extra year of eligibility. Some, like SDSU senior running back Greg Bell, have already announced their return to college.

Others, like senior defensive backs Tariq Thompson and Dwayne Johnson.
