USC Morning Buzz: Four Players Picked In 3 Rounds Means Something . . .

Sam Darnold, Ronald Jones, Uchenna Nwosu and Rasheem Green were drafted in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. They were four of the first 79 players selected. So this buries the whole crowd of people during the season who said how great an accomplishment it was to win the Pac-12 South. And then the Pac-12 title. USC had the most-talented team.

He won’t mind the attention or scrutiny in New York. “No, wherever I go there will be pressure,” Darnold said. “I’m just … Continue reading Sam Darnold Goes No. 3 To The New York Jets
