Four Former Sun Belt Standouts Selected in 2021 NFL Draft
NEW ORLEANS – Following a breakthrough 2020 season in which the Sun Belt boasted the most non-conference wins of any FBS conference (21) and had a pair of teams listed in the final AP Poll, Coaches Poll and College Football Playoff Rankings for the first time in conference history, four former Sun Belt football standouts were selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Sun Belt has produced at least one selection in 14-straight NFL Drafts and has claimed multiple picks in 13 of the past 14. The Sun Belt tied a conference record with seven NFL Draft picks in 2020.
