31 different Pro-Bowlers. Game changers everywhere.

From rounds 1 to 7, the 2016 Draft Class was absolutely stacked 😳 (THREAD ⬇️)

Beginning with Jared Goff as the top pick, the first seven players drafted all have become Pro Bowlers:

-Jared Goff
-Carson Wentz
-Joey Bosa
-Ezekiel Elliott
-Jalen Ramsey
-Ronnie Stanley
-DeForest Buckner

Got to imagine the @Titans were pretty happy when this guy was still available in Round 2 at pick 45.

@KingHenry_2

@Cantguardmike went from a 2nd round pick (47th overall) to breaking the single-season reception record in his fourth season.

Finding a franchise QB in the 4th round at pick 135? Not bad.

The @dallascowboys duo from this class turned out to be special.

@dak | @EzekielElliott

One of the best wide receivers and playmakers in the game. It didn’t take long for this 5th rounder (pick 165) to make a name for himself. 🐆

@cheetah

The defensive talent was off the charts in this class.

The first round featured Joey Bosa (3rd overall), Jalen Ramsey (5th overall), DeForest Buckner (7th overall, Leonard Floyd (9th overall) and Kenny Clark (27th overall) to name a few.

The studs on defense kept coming after the first round:

-Chris Jones (37th overall)
-Xavien Howard (38th overall)
-James Bradberry (62nd overall)
-Kevin Byard (64th overall)
-Yannic Ngakoue (69th overall)
-Justin Simmons (98th overall)
-Matt Judon (146th overall)

Will the 2022 draft class have the same success? 👀
