At #167, qb Clayton Thorsen, Northwestern, by Eagles. Interesting that NDSU qb Easton Stick taken at #166 taken by Chargers.

There it is!
With the 175th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select, Sutton Smith, EDGE/LB, NIU.

Memphis with two RBs drafted so far, a program that used to be a bottom feeder.

Steelers referring to Sutton as a LB.

I see Sutton excelling in the NFL as a "Buck" or 3-4 inside LB. More specifically, a "Jack" or pass-rushing specialist Buck.
...
It's my opinion that Sutton will be drafted by a team running a 3-4 Defense and that he'll play on the inside behind the line of scrimmage. That's my hope, anyway. I think this is what's best for him.

ESPN draft coverage just had 2 minutes of highlights and the announcers (Mel Kiper) talking about Sutton Smith. Incredible college player, but will it transfer to NFL is what they said. Good luck to Max and Sutton in the NFL.

Espn
I got to see it just now. They started with his engagement, she said yes, then his production thru the roof. Mentioned the rb to DE story.
Did not diss his 40 times. They said he had short arms.
Will he be able to play against the best in the world?

Great coverage of Smith on ESPN, but at the top of the screen their graphic said, "North Illinois."

"North Illinois" aside , it's been a great couple of days for Huskies football. Been some RC bashing on here, but credit where credit's due--Max and Sutton are a couple of nice NIU additions to the NFL. I wish them the best!
