PHOENIX, AZ – EXOS had another great year of combine training. Between the 95 athletes who went to the combine, they snagged over 200 performances in the top 15. Their hard work began to pay off in round one of the 2020 NFL draft, and they made up 43% of first-round picks.
No. 2 pick Chase Young, defensive lineman, and No. 3 pick Jeff Okudah, a defensive back, both represented Ohio State in the top 5, picked by the Washington Redskins and the Detroit Lions respectively. Andrew Thomas, a defensive lineman from Georgia, found a new home with the New York Giants with their No. 4 pick. To round out the top 10, Derrick Brown, a defensive lineman from Auburn, went to the North Carolina Panthers just before the Jacksonville Jaguars picked Florida defensive back C.J. Henderson.
By round seven, 83 EXOS athletes became professional players, making up 32% of the total draft. “It’s an incredible honor for our team to support these men during the draft process and excited to see them start their journey at the next level,” says Adam Farrand, vice president of pro/elite sports at EXOS.
