Coming off a historic National Championship-winning season, the Indiana football program is primed to have its best NFL Draft cycle in program history.
The current record for most IU players selected in a single NFL Draft is seven, which came back in 1976. Indiana sent a program record nine players to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last month, which has IU well-positioned to tie or break that 1976 record.
