Missouri Tigers offensive lineman selected in 7th round of NFL Draft

It was an eventful 2025 NFL Draft for the Missouri Tigers, from the early round selections of Armand Membou (No. 7 overall) and Luther Burden (No. 39) to some late fireworks.

After a bit of drought in the middle rounds, the Tigers returned to the action when left tackle Marcus Bryant was selected by the New England Patriots with the No. 220 overall pick in the seventh round.

Bryant joins 2025 first-round selection Will Campbell (LSU) in a Patriots O-line group tasked with protecting young quarterback Drake Maye.

Bryant started all 13 games at left tackle for the Tigers in 2024. He began his college career at SMU.

Notable undrafted free agents for the Tigers include quarterback Brady Cook, wideout Theo Wease Jr. and edge rusher Johnny Walker Jr., all of whom were projected as potential selections in various mock drafts.
