per Wald:
The NFL Draft is three weeks away, and it could have some Minnesota ties with the Gophers coming off their best season in 115 years.
P.J. Fleck has promised since the day he arrived on the University of Minnesota campus he would put players in the NFL. His most notable example of that in his tenure as a head coach comes from his time at Western Michigan, with wide receiver Corey Davis being a first round pick.
This year, it’s time for Carter Coughlin, Antoine Winfield Jr., Kamal Martin and Tyler Johnson to potentially realize a lifelong dream of being drafted by an NFL team and competing for a roster spot. The challenge now is if they’re working out on their own, due to the Coronavirus pandemic. If they didn’t work out at the NFL Combine, they didn’t get seen by scouts or agents. With NFL team facilities shut down, pro days canceled and the draft going virtual, teams have to go back to game film to evaluate prospects.
Here’s a look at each Minnesota player from last season and what the projections say.
