For the fifth straight year, a former Rutgers player heard their name at the NFL Draft.

Athan Kaliakmanis became the third quarterback in program history to be drafted after finishing their career as a Scarlet Knight, getting taken 223rd overall by the Washington Commanders in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday.
