GREEN BAY, Wisc. (KOAA) — The NFL Draft wrapped up Saturday, and a Pueblo East graduate heard his name called. Kain Medrano is now a member of the Washington Commanders.
Medrano was selected number 205 overall in the sixth round.
The linebacker went to UCLA after he graduated from Pueblo East.
Medrano was a three star recruit out of high school as a wide receiver, and he was the number 10 prospect in Colorado. He switched to defense in the 2020 season.
At the NFL Combine, Medrano recorded a 4.46 second 40-yard dash, which was the fastest time among linebackers.
Last season, Medrano was named a team captain and led the team with three forced fumbles.
News5 would like to congratulate Medrano and wish him the best of luck in his NFL career!
