The deadline for college underclassmen to declare for the 2018 NFL Draft is a few days away, and Wednesday saw a local product toss his name in the ring. Stanford cornerback Quenton Meeks announced he was going to forego his remaining eligibility and take a shot at the big time.
The Stanford University football team has emerged as a significant power over the past decade, but it was not until 2016 that the San Francisco 49ers took a look. Prior to 2016, the 49ers had last selected a Cardinal in 2003 when they spent a first round pick on offensive tackle Kwame Harris.
