NFL-draftens første runde i Pittsburgh blev en skuffelse for to inviterede spillere. Defensive tackle Kayden McDonald fra Ohio State og cornerback Colton Hood fra Tennessee stod hele aftenen og så til, mens deres konkurrenter blev hyldet på scenen af NFL-kommissær Roger Goodell – uden at høre deres eget navn blive kaldt.
Mens Hood endnu ikke har meddelt sine planer for draftens anden runde, har McDonald valgt at blive i Pittsburgh. Ifølge Adam Schefter fra ESPN forlænger han sit ophold i håb om at blive udtaget tidligt i runde to.
McDonald imponerede sidste sæson med 65 tackles, ni tackles for loss og tre sacks for Ohio State. Hans præstationer gjorde ham til en af de mest lovende defensive tackles i årets draftklasse.
Draftens anden runde starter fredag, hvor McDonald atter får mulighed for at høre sit navn blive råbt op. For spillere som ham er det en chance for at vise, at de fortjener en plads i NFL – selvom de måtte vente lidt længere end forventet.
