Kellen Mond was the first A&M player chosen in the 2021 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE STATION – For four seasons Kellen Mond lowered his head and honed his considerable skills as Texas A&M’s starting quarterback, and in his final year led the Aggies to their highest finish in the Associated Press rankings in 81 years. Mond’s hard work in college has paid off. The Minnesota Vikings selected the San Antonian with the second pick of the third round of the NFL draft on Friday night.
draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said if a scout only watched Mond perform against Florida in 2020, he would have been a first- or second-round pick in 2021. But Kiper added that if the same scout only saw Mond later in the season against LSU he would be “a free agent at best.” “Kellen Mond’s inconsistency kind of drives you a little crazy at times,” Kiper said. “Jimbo Fisher does coach them hard, and did improve every year in terms of his completion percentage in that program.
