2 FORMER PALADINS DRAFTED IN NFL
Congrats to these guys
Boom. Outstanding. I saw our former TE Miller at the FFPA event Friday and playing golf Saturday. Nice guy, well spoken. Loved his time playing football at Furman and is enjoying his time in Tampa Bay
Thats pretty awesome! The last 2 selected in the same draft since 2000! First 2 selected since 2013! WOW! Let's pray they both make the 53 man roster!

Reading some other articles, it appears Julian Ashby was the first long snapper taken in the NFL draft since 2001.
Apparently, it was going to be a bidding war for his services as a UDFA, so the Patriots decided to draft him instead. From what I read, that's a lot of capital to put on a non-premium position, so there's probably a really good chance he's going to play.

Yet it is an extremely vital position. It is a skill like anything else.

Agree but apparently not worth a draft pick since this is the first since 2001.cavedweller2 wrote: ↑Fri May 09, 2025 9:51 amYet it is an extremely vital position. It is a skill like anything else.
If you need a long snapper and realize there's a really good one available and would have to enter a bidding war for him after the draft, then go ahead and select him.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 2:31 pmAgree but apparently not worth a draft pick since this is the first since 2001.cavedweller2 wrote: ↑Fri May 09, 2025 9:51 amYet it is an extremely vital position.
