The last three seasons of Kent State football have served as some of the golden years in the history of the program. Increased success on the field often breeds increased success in the NFL Draft. This April, the Golden Flashes are hoping to wind up with their first draft selection since Dri Archer in 2014.

Back on March 14, the reigning MAC West champions trotted out eight members of the 2021 roster to Pro Day workouts. Highlighted by two-time First Team All-MAC quarterback Dustin Crum, the eight NFL hopefuls showcased their talents inside the Field House practice facility in front of representatives of nine NFL teams.
