Cal Football NFL Draft Notes

• Cal has had 27 first-round NFL Draft picks and 231 selections overall since the draft began in 1936.
• The four Cal players selected in the 2016 NFL Draft – quarterback Jared Goff (Los Angeles Rams, first round, No. 1 overall), wide receiver Trevor Davis (Green Bay Packers, fifth round, No. 163 overall), running back Daniel Lasco (New Orleans Saints, seventh round, No. 237 overall) and wide receiver Kenny Lawler (Seattle Seahawks, seventh round, No. 243 overall) – were the most since four Golden Bears were also chosen in 2013.
• Cal has had two No. 1 overall selections in the draft in quarterbacks Goff and Steve Bartkowski 1975, Atlanta Falcons).
• Cal's six quarterbacks taken in the first round of the NFL Draft is tied for the third-most by any college football program behind only Notre Dame (9) and USC (8) while equaling Stanford (6). Cal's list includes Craig Morton (1965 – No. 6, Dallas Cowboys), Bartkowski, Rich Campbell (1981 – No. 6, Green Bay Packers), Kyle Boller (2003 – No. 19, Baltimore Ravens), Aaron Rodgers (2005 – No. 24, Green Bay Packers) and Goff.
• The selections of Trevor Davis and Kenny Lawler in the 2016 NFL Draft mark only the second time in school history that two Cal wide receivers have been selected in the same NFL Draft with the only other occasion in 2008 when DeSean Jackson and Lavelle Hawkins were taken in the second and fourth rounds by the Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans, respectively.
• Prior to Jared Goff's 2016 selection the most recent first-round NFL Draft pick from Cal was Cameron Jordan when he was taken in the first round with No. 24 overall selection by the New Orleans Saints.
• Goff and Jordan are among five first-round NFL Draft picks currently active in the league with the others Aaron Rodgers (2005 – No. 24, Green Bay Packers), Alex Mack (2009 – No. 21, Cleveland Browns) and Tyson Alualu (2010 – No. 10, Jacksonville Jaguars). Mack (Atlanta Falcons) and Alualu (Pittsburgh Steelers) are currently on teams that they were not drafted by.
• Cal had strings of at least one player selected in the NFL Draft for 28 consecutive years (1987-2014), one in the top three rounds for eight years (2007-14) and two in the first four rounds for five years (2010-14) before those streaks were snapped when no Cal player was selected in 2015.
• The most Cal players selected in a single draft were the 10 chosen in 1952, while Cal's six players picked in the 1977, 2008 and 2012 NFL Drafts tie for the second-most in school history.
