Additional 2017 NFL draft picks included defensive back Justin Evans, a second-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while defensive end Daeshon Hall was a third-round pick by the Carolina Panthers. Wide receiver Josh Reynolds went in the fourth round to the Los Angeles Rams and offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor went to the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round.
Aggies who signed free agent contracts included quarterback Trevor Knight and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones with the Arizona Cardinals, offensive lineman Avery Gennesy with the Jacksonville Jaguars and linebacker Shaan Washington with the Minnesota Vikings.
