University of Arkansas Aims to Extend 28-Year NFL Draft Streak in Detroit

The University of Arkansas is on the edge of their seats as they wait to see if their streak of 28 consecutive years with at least one player drafted into the NFL will continue this weekend in Detroit. With 80 players drafted in the past 28 years, the Razorbacks have a rich history of producing NFL talent.

This year, the Razorbacks have a diverse group of potential draftees, with projections pointing to interior offensive lineman Beaux Limmer, cornerback Dwight McGlothern, and placekicker Cam Little as potential picks to keep the streak alive. Limmer, who impressed scouts with his 39 reps on the bench press at the NFL Scouting Combine, has shown versatility by switching from right guard to center last season.

McGlothern, ranked as the highest Razorback prospect by All Access Football, is projected to go in the fifth round by various sources. Little, the Arkansas record holder in field goal accuracy, is aiming to become the fifth Arkansas kicker drafted into the NFL.

The Razorbacks sent five players to the NFL Scouting Combine, showcasing the depth of talent on the team. Defensive end Trajan Jeffcoat, a team captain at Arkansas, has been working hard to slim down for his NFL workouts, while Little is confident in his abilities as a kicker.

As the NFL Draft approaches, all eyes are on the University of Arkansas to see if their streak will continue. With a talented group of prospects, the Razorbacks are poised to add to their impressive legacy of NFL talent. Stay tuned to see which Razorback will be the first to hear their name called in Detroit this weekend.
