For many Cougar fans in the Northwest, the headline from last weekend’s NFL Draft was when offensive lineman Abe Lucas heard his name called by the Seahawks. The Washington native was picked 72nd overall in the 3rd round and is going to get the chance to stay in the Evergreen state. But he wasn’t the only WSU player to be selected over the weekend.
Lucas’ teammate Jaylan Watson also had his NFL dream come true. The defensive back was picked 243rd overall in the 7th round by the Kansas City Chiefs. The former honorable mention All-Pac-12 player is going to get his shot at the pros with a pretty good team this fall.
