The 2019 NFL draft has come and gone and six Miners have been presented the opportunity to play for an NFL team. Although no player was officially drafted, two players signed as undrafted free agents and four Miners were given NFL rookie camp invitations.
These Miners have all been given an opportunity many college football players dream of. They look to capitalize on this golden opportunity as former Miners have done.
Cornerback Nik Needham has signed a deal to play for the Miami Dolphins. This comes as no surprise as Needman finished his UTEP career with 212 total and 33 pass breakups.
