per the Daily:
The NFL Draft starts on Thursday, and two former members of the Gophers secondary are likely to hear their names called.
Cornerbacks Eric Murray and Briean Boddy-Calhoun played a combined 91 games as Gophers, and each anchored a secondary that finished fourth in the Big Ten in passing yards allowed in 2015.
Murray was voted on the All-Big Ten Third Team this year by coaches and media, while Boddy-Calhoun was a Third Team selection by the media.
Now the pair is likely to ensure that Minnesota will have a defensive back drafted for the third year in a row.
Murray is projected to go in the fifth round, while Boddy-Calhoun is projected as a seventh-round selection or undrafted free agent, according to CBSsports.com.
“The predictions are so unstable; you just can’t get caught up in it,” Murray said at his pro day in March. “Once you let it fill your head, you start to lose a little bit of work ethic.”
