Former Kansas football players garnered more recognition for their skill and performance on the field during the 2024 NFL Draft and subsequent undrafted free agency signings than they had in many years. Offensive lineman Dominick Puni was selected by the 49ers in the third round, while Austin Booker was chosen by the Bears in the fifth round.

Additionally, four others secured deals as undrafted free agents immediately after the draft, and six more received invitations to various team minicamps, offering them the chance to compete for roster spots.

These developments, coupled with the Jayhawks’ performance over the past two seasons, underscore the program’s improvement in recruiting talented players and effectively developing their skills.

Hometown hero Devin Neal’s potential impact as a running back for the Kansas Jayhawks in 2024 is generating significant buzz. Despite Pro Football Focus acknowledging a loaded draft class for running backs next year, they rank Neal third, reflecting high expectations for him and the team.

Neal, a Lawrence native, has been remarkably productive in his first three years on campus, amassing impressive stats in rushing yards, touchdowns, receiving yards, and receptions. His consistent performance, even while sharing playing time with other talented running backs, suggests a promising future.

Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 208 pounds, Neal possesses solid size and agility. Fantasy Pros provided a glowing scouting report, praising his ability to change speeds, make sharp cuts, and maintain excellent ball security.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Neal’s contributions in the upcoming season as the Kansas football team aims to build on recent successes and compete at both the conference and national levels. With the potential for a standout senior season, Neal could position himself for a successful NFL career after his collegiate tenure concludes, adding to the excitement surrounding the Jayhawks’ prospects in 2024.
