Several Iowa State players could be selected in the NFL Draft which begins Thursday night in Kansas City.
Cyclone All-American receiver Xavier Hutchinson is expected to be a mid to late round selection after setting a single season record at ISU with 107 receptions.
Hutchinson says he has enjoyed the entire process.
Hutchinson says his main goal is to get a chance to make a roster.
Cyclone defensive back Anthony Johnson says his move from corner to safety as a senior has helped his prospects.
Johnson says he never questioned the move.
Johnson says recent Cyclone players who have made NFL rosters helped him navigate the process.
Defensive end Will McDonald could be the first Cyclone taken in the opening round in 49 years. ISU’s all-time leader in sacks says it was the players he learned from that provided this opportunity.
Some mock drafts have McDonald going late in the first round but he is not trying to focus on when he will be taken.
McDonald just wants a chance to make a roster.
Multiple draft picks have become a regular thing under coach Matt Campbell.
Campbell believes those three along with linebacker O’Rien Vance will get a chance to make a roster.
