With the 118th pick in the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected Akayleb Evans in the 4th Round. Evans becomes the first Missouri Tiger to be selected in this year’s draft. In his lone season as a grad transfer at Mizzou, Evans produced a successful campaign with a career high 25 solo tackles and two forced fumbles, along with six pass deflections. Mizzou had gone three rounds without a player selected, and that doesn’t usually happen for this program. This is just the third time Missouri hasn't had a player taken in the first three rounds since 2008.
