Danny Shelton is the first Husky selected in the 2015 NFL Draft.
It didn't take long for Washington defensive tackle Danny Shelton to come off the board. He was considered among the top three interior defensive linemen prospects by most scouts, along with fellow Pac-12 alumni Leonard Williams (USC) and Arik Amstead (Oregon). He is the first player selected from the Husky defense.
After spending one season behind Alameda Ta'amu, Shelton became a three-year starter for Washington. He had been viewed as purely a run-stuffing nose tackle up until his senior season until he exploded for 9.
