Edge rusher Zion Tupuola-Fetui stil awaits his pro football opportunity.
All of the major players from the University of Washington's 14-1 and national runner-up team this past winter have been accounted for post-NFL Draft with the notable exception of one guy from Montlake -- edge rusher Zion Tupuola-Fetui .
The analysts immediately surmised ZTF would become a first-round draft pick for 2021, once the world got healthy again, yet the UW defender next had to deal with an unwanted career interruption when he tore an Achilles tendon in the following spring practice.
To recap the Husky draft, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was taken by the Atlanta Falcons with the eighth overall pick; wide receiver Rome Odunze went to the Chicago Bears, with the very next selection at No. 9 overall, and offensive tackle Troy Fautanu heard his name called out at No. 20 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, all of them first-rounders.
