The NFL Draft Weekend in Nashville has come and gone. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons kept their streak alive of having a player selected with OL Phil Haynes getting selected early on Day 3 in Round 4.

Haynes had quietly crept up the draft board after a strong combine performance where he quelled doubts about his athleticism. The Seattle Seahawks will luckily have a hard-working and experienced offensive lineman.

Perhaps as relatively surprising it was for Haynes to go a bit earlier than expected was WR Greg Dortch not being selected at all. However, he was quickly snagged by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent.

Dortch goes to the Jets while two Deacs will be going to the Los Angeles Rams. RB Matt Colburn and WR Alex Bachman will get an opportunity with the defending NFC Champs.

As these former Deacs turn the page onto their professional careers, we wish them nothing but the best.
