Armstead Set To Attend 2015 NFL Draft in Chicago
We already know that the big names in College Football in former Florida State Quarterback Jameis Winston and former Oregon Signal Caller Marcus Mariota will not be attending the NFL Draft in Chicago, but rather have a more quiet NFL Draft day experience away from the lights and cameras. Mariota will allow an NFL Network and ESPN crew to follow his experience in Hawaii however, so we will at least see him on Draft Day,
The NFL announced a list of college athletes who will be attending the NFL Draft in Chicago and although the list may not have the key players from 2014, the roster does include an former Oregon Duck in Defensive Lineman Arik Armstead. The former Oregon Duck departed the Ducks early to enter the NFL Draft following his Junior season and one of the latest Mock Drafts from USA Today has him going in the first round to the San Francisco 49ers.
Defensive Lineman Leonard Williams from USC, expected to be a top five pick will be in attendance, as will Alabama Safety Landon Collins, picked by some to land in Philadelphia with the Eagles on the 20th overall pick.
The 2015 NFL Draft is set to begin in Primetime on April 30th starting at 5pm Pacific Time.
