Offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk was selected by the New Orleans Saints at No. 32, the final pick of the first round...

...Ramczyk, 6 feet 5 ½ inches and 309 pounds, eschewed a scholarship offer from Pittsburgh as a senior at Stevens Point High School.

He played two seasons at Division III UW-Stevens Point, transferred to UW and sat out the 2015 season and then proved to be one of the best left tackles in the country in 2016.

"It’s been an incredible experience," Ramczyk told the NFL Network before the draft. "It’s been a ton of fun. I enjoyed my time at both Stevens Point and Wisconsin."  MORE
