The SEC had to wait until the 14th selection of Round Four before a former league player was selected but the run was on after that.

Receiver was the hot position as four were taken from the SEC and former Florida teammates Antonio Morrison and Demarcus Robinson were drafted in back-to-back picks.

The best quarterback in Mississippi State’s history was also selected in this round, as Dak Prescott lands in Dallas to serve as Tony Romo’s backup.

Here’s a look at the SEC’s fourth-round picks:

  • No. 112 Malcolm Mitchell, receiver, Georgia (New England Patriots)
  • No. 114 Ricardo Louis, receiver, Auburn (Cleveland Browns)
  • No. 117 Pharoh Cooper, receiver, South Carolina (Los Angeles Rams)
  • No. 123 Jerald Hawkins, offensive line, LSU (Pittsburgh Steelers)
  • No. 125 Antonio Morrison, linebacker, Florida (Indianapolis Colts)
  • No. 126 Demarcus Robinson, receiver, Florida (Kansas City Chiefs)
  • No. 128 Evan Boehm, offensive line, Missouri (Arizona Cardinals)
  • No. 133 Rashard Robinson, cornerback, LSU (San Francisco 49ers)
  • No. 135 Dak Prescott, quarterback, Mississippi State (Dallas Cowboys)
