Last year, wide receiver Bo Melton (seventh round, Seattle Seahawks) and running back Isaih Pacheco (seventh round, Kansas City Chiefs) were both selected. Pacheco went on to win the Super Bowl as a rookie.

See which Scarlet Knights are available for the draft below. These are the players who went through Rutgers Football's Pro Day in March.

Keep this page handy as this is where any updates will be posted with notes under the table.

NFL DRAFT

Christian Braswell -- Round 6 -- Pick 202 -- Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected former Rutgers cornerback Christian Braswell in the sixth round on Day 3 of the NFL Draft on Saturday. Braswell spent two years at Rutgers, but only played one this past season. He was an Second Team All-Big Ten selection by PFF and honorable mention by the media. Braswell led the team with 11 pass breakups and three interceptions and registered an 86.3 grade on PFF.

UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTS

Aron Cruickshank, Chicago Bears

Cruickshank was an electric return man at Rutgers (and Wisconsin), and really started to come on as a wide receiver. An injury made his lose a step, but he be might be able to catch on as a special teams player.

J.D. DiRenzo, Carolina Panthers

DiRenzo was at Rutgers for one season after being an All-American at Sacred Heart and was the team’s best lineman. He showed versatility playing both left guard and left tackle with the Scarlet Knights. He tested well at Pro Day besting many lineman in many events from the Combine.

Christian Izien, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Izien is on the shorter side (like yours truly), but he is a wrecking ball and hard worker. Izien will swarm to the ball and could stick.

Ifeanyi Maijeh, Seattle Seahawks

Maijeh was solid at both Temple and with the Scarlet Knights. Seattle needs a lot of help defensively, so it'll be interesting if he can have an impact.

Sean Ryan, Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens added wide receiver recently in free agency and selected a WR in the first round of the draft, but they want to give Lamar Jackson more pass catchers. Ryan is a bigger target who was Rutgers top weapon at receiver last season.

Avery Young, San Francisco 49ers

Young is a hard worker who leaves it all out on the field. He isn't fast, but is a pro who will do whatever it takes.

ROOKIE MINI CAMP INVITES

Keenan Reid, New York Jets

Reid played in seven games on special teams in three years as a walk-on. Reid likely is getting a chance due to testing well at Pro Day.

Adam Korsak, KC Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers

There he is. The wizard himself has two rookie mini camps both with the Steelers and Chiefs. Korsak recently talked up Isaih Pacheco on the NFL Network. Korsak will get a chance to show the NFL what he can do.
