NFL Draft

The NFL draft will be conducted fully online and remotely this year. Minnesota is expected to be well represented. Gopher Safety Antoine Winfield could be taken as high as the first round with Johnnie Offensive Tackle Ben Bartch and Gopher Receiver Tyler Johnson going anywhere from rounds 2-4.

The Gophers could have 4 to 5 players selected in the NFL draft this week. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says safety Antoine Winfield Jr. could be a first round pick but more than likely will be a 2nd round choice.
