Comments 0 Comment

Today as I drove by the venue of the NFL draft that begins tomorrow night, I wondered just how many K-State players will hear their names called over the loudspeakers at Union Station in Kansas City this weekend. According to most mock drafts, defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah, cornerback Julius Brents, and running back Deuce Vaughn are the most likely Wildcats drafted.
