Nkemdiche is one of the year’s top defensive talents available in the 2016 NFL Draft. The quarterbacks, running backs, and other offensive threats may be drawing the most attention for team with the first five pics. Yet, Nikemdiche could be one of the first defensive players whose name is called by the commissioner on Thursday night in Chicago.
The Ole Miss product showed off on the red carpet on Thursday after a stellar career in the SEC. He record seven sacks, 19 tackles for a loss, and 49 total pressures in his 35 games with Ole Miss. If his play on the field and dress on the red carpet are any indication, the team who drafts the Ole Miss defensive tackle won’t be disappointing in training camp, preseason, and when the real games begin.
Nkemdiche was all smiles with his family as he walked towards where the draft will take place. Those grins will definitely get bigger when his name is called and he heads onto the stage to have his picture taken with a hat of whichever team selects him. He should be drafted Thursday night, but if not he will be a steal in the second round on Friday.
