Happy Monday, Hoosier fans! It was a wonderful weekend for IU football, as former defensive back Jamar Johnson’s name was called as the 20th pick in the fifth round (164th overall), to extend the draft streak to eight years. Although Johnson was the lone Hoosier to get drafted, four others have signed UDFA deals with NFL teams so far—Whop Philyor with the Minnesota Vikings, Harry Crider with the Philadelphia Eagles, Stevie Scott with the New Orleans Saints, and Jerome Johnson with the Miami Dolphins. We’ll keep you posted as more deals reel in for former IU football players.
