Running backs drafted in the first round. LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire, right, went with the 32nd pick to the Chiefs.

Big Ten players drafted, second to the SEC. Six of its teams had four or more players drafted: Ohio State (10), Michigan (10), the Gophers (five), Penn State (five), Iowa (five) and Wisconsin (four).

9

Players chosen from outside the FBS (six from the FCS, two from Division II and one from Division III). The first to go was safety Kyle Dugger from Division II Lenoir-Rhyne, in the second round to the Patriots. The only Division III player drafted was offensive tackle Ben Bartch of St. John's. Bartch was the first Johnnies player taken in the draft since 1974. The Saints made tight end Adam Trautman the first player drafted from the University of Dayton since 1977.
