I am against this policy that lets academy athletes play professional sports instead of serving as lieutenants, but then again, no one asked for my opinion when crafting that policy. Looks like at least one Army football player from this year's class will be in the NFL, perhaps more:
Army linebacker Andre Carter II went undrafted but ended up signing a free agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday night.
The edge rusher did not have his name called through seven rounds and 259 selections in the three-day NFL Draft, hosted in Kansas City. Touted by some as a late first-round or second-round choice, Carter signed a free agent deal with the Vikings within an hour of the draft's conclusion...
Army has five other NFL-eligible players, some of whom may get signed as free agents in the coming days: defensive back Marquel Broughton; defensive lineman Kwabena Bonsu; defensive wide receiver Braheam Murphy; cornerback Isaiah Morris; and, running back Maurice Bellan. Carter and his teammates participated in a Pro Day at West Point on March 16, when 32 NFL scouts from 27 teams were on hand.
Army has four active NFL players, all of whom were undrafted free agents: Seahawks linebacker Jon Rhattigan; Chiefs linebacker Cole Christiansen; Steelers defensive back Elijah Riley; and, Eagles offensive lineman Brett Roth.
