The legacy of Kohl's athletes in the NFL Draft has historically been strong, and 2019 was no different.
Kohl's athletes Jake Bailey of Stanford and Austin Seibert of Oklahoma were both selected in the 5th round of the NFL Draft. Both were highly ranked coming out of high school and went on to be impact special teams players at the collegiate level, garnering interest from NFL teams
Numerous prospects are heading to mini camps and have signed deals with NFL teams post-draft. In previous years, countless undrafted athletes have gone on to earn starting spots with teams. This should be fun to keep an eye on.
In 2018, 62 Kohl's athletes were on NFL rosters for week 1 of the NFL Preseason while 43 went on to start in NFL regular season games. We're looking forward to the crop of athletes in the 2019 season!
