No Bobcats selected in NFL draft

The Southland Conference had four players selected in the NFL Draft this weekend.
Four more went the next day as undrafted free agents — but no Texas State Bobcats.
Cameron Luke and Stan Zwinggi, who dazzled scouts at the Texas State pro day, weren’t drafted, nor signed in the first days of undrafted free agency.
While Luke and Zwinggi weren’t picked, the SLC had four go Sunday afternoon, as Ladarius Webb topped the list.
Webb was selected with the 88th overall pick by the Baltimore Ravens. The cornerback from Nicholls State should help out immediately on special teams.
Rhett Bomar, who many thought would be a solid NFL quarterback, went to the New York Giants with the 151st overall pick.
Bomar will be competing with time behind Eli Manning with David Carr and Andre Woodson.
Two SLC wide receivers went in the sixth round, as Quiten Lawrence was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs (151st) and Dominique Edison went to the Tennessee Titans (206th).
Central Arkansas had two players signed by NFL teams once undrafted free agency began.
Nathan Brown, who many scouts clammored about, went to the Washington Redskins and his familiar target, tight end Marquez Branson will join the Denver Broncos.
McNeese State’s Kyle Link, who played offensive lineman, went to the New York Jets, while cornerback Jeremy Haynes fell into Tennessee’s laps.
There’s still hope for Luke and Zwinggi, as teams will be looking to fill roster spots with mini-camps gearing up.
