(AP) Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, Baker Mayfield, winning the Heisman before being selected as the first pick overall in this year’s draft.

The NFL Draft is a chance for young gifted football players to celebrate as if they are old time Hall of Fame greats. This year’s draft—held in Nashville, Ten. from April 25-27— shattered previous attendance records with more than 600,000 fans watching live, making it the mostwatched and highest-rated draft in history.
