Go get em fellas. UConn Nation is behind you

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Hoping these guys make it to the NFL for their sakes and to show we provide a steady pipeline to the pros.

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

I am also declaring for the NFL draft

 

[Purple Stein]

Not a big fan of this new portal world but I really do love how both of these kids repped both of their schools in these announcements.

Over / Under Players Drafted
1.5 ????

Under.

Lundt gets drafted.

4-6 others will sign as UDFA or camp invites.

Under. Lundt the most likely. Second most likely would be Senn.

That makes sense to me.

I could see Stafford making the back end of a roster. Not the best size, but his height (or lack thereof) will only be more effective against taller NFL OL, plus his high motor and experience on special teams.

Gonna miss this senior class, they were fantastic leaders. These guys went through a lot and stuck it out, happy they got to go out on a high note

I am also declaring for the NFL draft

Then who will run the bar?

I hope if any stick around in CT that they won't have to pay a restaurant bill for the next 4 years.

Did any of the guys declaring have years left in eligibility?

 

[Waquoit]

Looks like we'll have a proper pro day.

At this point, who isn't declaring for the draft?

When I’m bored l’ll put a list together….

 

[UConnDan97]

He wasn't the fastest guy on the field, but he had awesome hands. Every time we threw to him on 3rd and long (even 3rd-and-desperate), he came down with the catch. I hope someone in the NFL finds a way to use this fella because he catches everything...

Not to get over-excited, but Jelani Stafford's build really reminds me of Aaron Donald

AD coming out of Pitt = 6'0 - 285
JS coming out of UConn = 6'1 - 300

honestly if he honed his body, with his motor I could see him becoming a stud.
He'll fly under the radar so UDFA but raises tons of eyebrows during camp and pre-season. He could turn into something special.


On another note, way too many huskies with unrealistic hopes, have declared for the draft.
Is this common practice across FBS? just tonsssssss of declares? like how many of these declares actually make it to the pre-season? not even daring to ask how many make a 53-man roster.

I think it's jumped up in frequency this year, but it's a harmless way for the kids to say thanks and maybe get a smidge of exposure; while the Program can also get a little pub with this trickle of another Husky declaring for the league day over day, give other recruits and the media a thought of "wow, UConn seems to have a ton of NFL prospects; maybe I/we should take them seriously"
