Round 2 of the NFL Draft continued Friday night from Arlington, Texas, and early in the second round, former Georgia star Nick Chubb was selected by the Cleveland Browns. Interestingly, Chubb and Kerryon Johnson went off the board before former LSU RB Derrius Guice. Guice was the draft’s biggest faller in the second round.

It took awhile for an LSU player to be drafted, but CB Donte Jackson broke the ice for the Tigers at No. 55 overall.
