Ashtyn Davis

Scott became the fifth Cal safety in four years to be drafted, following in the footsteps of Camryn Bynum, Ashtyn Davis, Jaylinn Hawkins and, most recently, Elijah Hicks.

The reality is that Daniel Scott ends up where he wants to end up. After all, he sees the game play out before it even happens.

The Bears have parted ways with Tim DeRuyter, the defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach who revolutionized Cal’s defense.

Rated as a three-star prospect by both Rivals and 247Sports, Hearns is the third wide receiver to be recruited into the Bears' class of 2021.

Evan Weaver figures to join first-round pick Isaiah Simmons in competing for a role alongside incumbent starting linebacker Jordan Hicks.

At some picks, teams jumped at the chance to select players who fell out of the first round. At others — like the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 53 — the surprises continued, with Twitter truly going off the rails.

The former Cal football safety became the first Cal football player to be selected in the 2020 NFL draft, as the New York Jets drafted the former walk-on with the No. 68 overall pick in the third round.

The challenges posed by COVID-19 resulted in an unprecedented virtual draft, which delivered its classic one-two punch of surprise and excitement.

Cal has multiple alumni who could hear their names during the NFL Draft, which has an opportunity to be unpredictable due to its talent and virtual nature.

Ashtyn Davis is penciled in to be the first former Cal player off the board, and will likely be the quickest of the bunch to become a full-time starter.
