Published:
The Missouri Tigers only had 2 players drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft — TE Albert Okwuegbunam and DL Jordan Elliott.
Elliott was a Round 3 pick of the Cleveland Browns while Albert O is heading to the Denver Broncos as a fourth-round pick to reunite with former Mizzou QB Drew Lock.
There were several other Missouri players who didn’t get drafted, but a few of them have already signed on with teams as undrafted free agents. So far, 6 Mizzou players — LB Cale Garrett, K/P Tucker McCann, DB DeMarkus Acy and OL Yasir Durant, Trystan Colon-Castillo and Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms — have signed deals, according to reports:
