The NFL Draft has kicked off, but for many athletes, the draft isn't when the news about becoming a pro comes. SMU has a few athletes who could land NFL jobs via free agency.
The NFL Draft kicked off Thursday evening, and as it concludes today, even in a virtual format, many SMU football players are hoping to hear their names announced by Commissioner Roger Goodell and his team.
If draft projections are any indicator, however, most of the Mustangs will have to wait for phone calls following the draft, as teams could be inquiring about them as free agents.
Which isn't a bad thing at all.
