This weekend’s NFL draft was fruitful for four graduating members of the Cardinal football team.

RYAN WHALEN was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals, quite an achievement for someone who joined the Stanford football team as a walk-on and had to work his way up to scholarship status.

RICHARD SHERMAN was drafted by Seattle Seahawks.

SIONE FUA was selected by the Carolina Panthers.

The Cleveland Browns picked OWEN MARECIC.

Meanwhile, Junior guard JEREMY GREEN has made himself eligible for the 2011 NBA Draft, but will not hire an agent at this time in order to maintain his NCAA eligibility.
