Since 1966, 67 Canadians have been selected in the NFL Draft, including a record-tying four future NFL stars tapped in 2021.
Canada was left off the board in Round 1 on Thursday, leaving the all-time number of Canadians drafted in the first round at five — N'Keal Harry (Patriots), Danny Watkins (Eagles), Tim Biakabutuka (Panthers), the second overall pick in 1989, Tony Mandarich (Packers), and Mike Schad (Rams) in 1986.
Oregon safety Jevon Holland was the first Canadian to be drafted in 2021 when the Dolphins selected him 36th overall. Benjamin St-Juste and Josh Palmer followed in the third round. Chuba Hubbard, who shut down his 2020 season in mid-December, was taken in the fourth round by the Panthers.
