- Tackle Ryan Clady is the highest drafted Boise State player of all time.
- Five Boise State players have been selected in the first round of the draft.
- In 2025, running back Ashton Jeanty is projected to break Clady’s record.
If the odds hold on Ashton Jeanty, the prolific running back is projected to be the highest selected Boise State player of all time.
Currently, tackle Ryan Clady holds the moniker as the highest drafted Bronco. In 2008, the Broncos selected the offensive lineman 12th overall.
Clady marked the first Boise State player selected in the first round. Since that pick, four further Broncos heard their names called in the opening round.
However, none of those picks came in the first 10 picks. Based on NFL Draft odds, Jeanty is -600 – an implied probability of 85.7% – to reverse that trend.
