Excitement filled the air during the NFL Draft weekend as seven players from the Missouri Tigers made their way to professional football, including three draft picks and four undrafted free agents.

Offensive tackle Armand Membou was the first Tiger drafted, joining the New York Jets as the 7th overall pick. Shortly after, his former teammate, quarterback Brady Cook, also signed with the Jets. Meanwhile, wide receiver Luther Burden III was picked 39th overall by the Chicago Bears, landing a spot on a promising young offense.

Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant followed, selected by the New England Patriots at pick 220. Four players, including WR Theo Wease Jr. and RB Nate Noel, signed as undrafted free agents with the Miami Dolphins, while defensive end Johnny Walker Jr. joined the Denver Broncos to complete the Tigers' impressive NFL weekend.
