  Temple football coach Rod Carey was ecstatic while watching the NFL draft over the weekend. How could he not be? Temple had four players selected in the draft, the most ever for the program. The school had three players selected eight times. Center Matt Hennessy was selected in the third round by the Atlanta Falcons. Cornerback Harrison Hand went in the fifth round to the Minnesota Vikings. The Eagles selected linebacker Shaun Bradley in the sixth round, and fellow linebacker Chapelle Russell was taken in the seventh round by Tampa Bay, guided by former Temple head coach Bruce Arians. "It is a dream come true, a moment in time where they've probably been dreaming about that moment since they first played football, and it came true," Carey said Tuesday during a video conference call with reporters.

Temple has had multiple players drafted for five straight years, the only non-Power Five school to do so. "For our program, it's a huge recruiting [boost]," said Carey, who went 8-5 in his first season after being the head coach the previous six at Northern Illinois. "And it's a powerful, powerful thing." Temple has had 77 players drafted by NFL teams. Having this type of success, especially lately, is something any coaching staff would look to build on. "It just happened and we are certainly capitalizing," Carey said. "You've probably seen our social media and things like that and we're pushing those things out and we want to continue to do that, because we've proven now, not just with this year but in the previous years at Temple, if you come here, there is a clear pathway." - Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News
