NFL-Draft fortgesetzt!
Der NFL-Draft in New York wurde in der vergangenen Nacht mit der zweiten und dritten Runde fortgesetzt – insgesamt wurden 55 Spieler verpflichtet.
In der zweiten Runde gab es erneut zwei Überraschungen. Da’Quan Bowers wurde erst von den Tampa Bay Buccaneers an 19. Stelle verpflichtet. Die Minnesota Vikings sorgten erneut für erstaunte Experten. Sie entschieden sich für Tight End Kyle Rudolph anstelle des zu erwartenden Defensivspielers.
Der hoch gehandelte Quarterback Colin Kaepernick landete bei den San Francisco 49ers.
