ARLINGTON -- After a day of waiting, SMU's top NFL draft prospect has found his new home.
Former Mustang receiver Courtland Sutton was selected by the Denver Broncos with the eighth pick of the second round Friday night, going No. 40 overall.
Sutton is the highest-drafted SMU product since 1986, when Rod Jones and Reggie Dupard were selected consecutively in the first round. Sutton is also the first Mustang drafted since Kenneth Acker and Garrett Gilbert went in the sixth round in 2014.
Sutton, a Brenham native, played three years at SMU following his redshirt season.
