My coverage of Troy Andersen’s NFL Draft outlook began in December with the first article linked below. It was clear back then that Andersen, one of the best football players in Montana State history, would be drafted in April, so I asked a couple draft analysts about him.

As you can see below, my coverage of his path to the NFL was just getting started. Andersen was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the 58th overall pick, the second-highest draft pick in MSU history.

Andersen’s teammate Daniel Hardy was also drafted, in the seventh round by the Los Angeles Rams. He was gracious enough to talk to me shortly after he was selected.
