How many Mississippi State football players were picked in 2024 NFL draft? See every selection

Thursday marks the start of the 2024 NFL Draft − a three-day event in Detroit, Michigan, that'll elevate college football's top prospects to the highest level in the sport.

Mississippi State is no exception, though its players likely won't hear their names called until the latter part of the draft.

MSU had four players invited to the NFL Scouting Combine last month. Cornerback Decamerion Richardson is atop that group as the lone player projected across various mock drafts to go in the top four rounds. He was joined in Indianapolis for the combine by linebacker Nathaniel Watson, defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy and wide receiver Lideatrick Griffin.

Last year, Mississippi State only had two players drafted. However, that included corner Emmanuel Forbes who was taken 16th overall by the Washington Commanders.

This story will be updated throughout the NFL Draft to reflect Mississippi State players drafted or signed as undrafted free agents.

When is the NFL Draft?

The NFL Draft starts at 7 p.m. Thursday. Coverage continues at 6 p.m. Friday for the second and third rounds. The final day of the draft begins at 11 a.m. Saturday.
