With Pierre Strong Jr. and Chris Oladokun hearing their names called in this year's NFL Draft, it piqued my interest as to how many and where former Jackrabbits and Coyotes have been drafted in the past.

South Dakota State Tight End Tucker Kraft has long been on the radar of NFL teams as one of the premier players at his position in all of College Football.

There was a ton of football this weekend. Not the kind that typically has fans at the edge of their seats, but football nonetheless. The NFL preseason kicked off, and with it came an opportunity to see the bulk of young talent that recently entered the league in their first live game action.

Pierre Strong Jr. was one of the best athletes among his position tested at this year's NFL Combine, and that along with stellar college production made him a fourth round pick in April's NFL Draft.

The NFL Draft seemingly came and went in a flash, and now the attention turns to rookie minicamp and contract negotiations. On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers and their second first-round pick, Georgia's Devonte Wyatt, agreed to terms.

South Dakota State's Pierre Strong Jr. was dominant at the FCS level and his new team is hoping that success will continue at the next level.

The first night of the NFL Draft had a ton of storylines, from the wide receiver frenzy to the big trades that took place. One under the radar story was that of the UNI Panthers, who had their first ever first-round pick when Trevor Penning was selected by the New Orleans Saints.
