Three ASU players taken in NFL draft

Appalachian State had three players chosen in the NFL Draft today, marking a first in program history.

Safety Mark LeGree was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round, guard Daniel Kilgore was a fifth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers and linebacker D.J. Smith was taken in the sixth round by the Green Bay Packers.

ASU has had two players selected in the same draft – in 1990 (Derrick Graham and Keith Collins), 1992 (Gary Dandridge and Mark Frier) and 2008 (Dexter Jackson and Corey Lynch) but never three.
