Three Mormons heard their names called
during the NFL Draft — with one having to wait until the final pick.
Tony Moeaki,
a Mormon from Wheaton, Ill., who played tight end at Iowa, was taken in
the third round by the Kansas City Chiefs, the 93rd overall pick.
Another tight end, BYU's Dennis Pitta, was
selected by Baltimore in the fourth round with pick No. 114.
The final pick of the draft, known
traditionally as "Mr. Irrelevant," was Weber State's Tim Toone, a wide receiver from Peoria, Ariz.
Toone was the 255th selection in the seven-round format.
Both Pitta (Dominican Republic) and Toone
(West Africa) are returned missionaries.
Toone is the second Weber State RM to
earn the "Mr. Irrelevant" title. Cam Quayle
was the 241st pick of the draft by the Ravens in 1998.
