Minnesota had a good showing in this year's NFL Draft with three Gophers being selected throughout the seven rounds and a handful signing UDFA deals. Now, we are already turning our attention to the 2024 NFL Draft where one Gophers' defender is already being discussed as a potential first-round pick.
All-Big Ten safety Tyler Nubin is projected currently as the No. 32 overall player in next year's NFL Draft according to Dane Bugler of The Athletic. The former four-star prospect out of St. Charles North in South Elgin (IL) is coming off his best season as a Gopher with 55 total tackles, two tackles for a loss, four interceptions, three pass deflections, and one forced fumble.
Bugler notes that if Nubin had left the Gophers this offseason that he would have been a day-two draft pick.
Pro Football Focused graded Nubin out last year extremely well including an overall defensive grade of 76.4 and a pass coverage grade of 72.6. He's also phenomenal against the run, giving the Gophers a do-it-all type of safety.
