As of late Sunday evening, two other Tigers had signed free agent contracts following the draft, with at least four others accepting invitations to workout for NFL teams.
Jeremy Maclin went with the number 19 overall selection to the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming Mizzou's first player to be taken in the first round of the draft since Justin Smith.
The Pittsburgh Steelers added some youth to a productive but aging defensive line, choosing Ziggy Hood with the 32nd and final pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The Philadelphia Eagles got a weapon they didn't expect for Donovan McNabb, trading up two spots to select Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin with the 19th pick in the NFL draft.
Missouri's defense stole the show in Saturday afternoon's Black & Gold Game, as it held the Tiger offense to just one touchdown and 355 total yards en route to a 68-40 triumph in the final workout of the spring season.
