Getting drafted in the NFL has never been the goal for former Minnesota Gophers standout Carter Coughlin.

Neither has simply making a roster out of training camp.

Or dressing for an NFL game.

“I want to play in the NFL,” Coughlin said. “Whatever my role is as a rookie, I want to dominate that role. I want to outwork everybody and do it to the best of my abilities.”

With the NFL draft set to begin Thursday, Coughlin is spending most of his days at the family cabin in Pequot Lakes, Minn., working out in the garage and virtually chatting with coaches and executives.

“I miss talking football,” he said. “Usually, we’d be finishing up spring ball right now and have a whole month and a half of some intense football talk. It’s kind of nice to hop on a Zoom call and talk position and defensive schemes. I enjoy it a lot.”


Go Gophers!!
