Former UCLA defensive tackle Kenny Clark was the 27th player selected in the NFL Draft and Bruin fans were ecstatic, especially on Twitter.
Like many UCLA Football fans, I was sitting at home enjoying the 2016 NFL Draft, though admittedly focused on one former UCLA Football player, Myles Jack. While waiting for Jack’s name to be called, it was a bit of a surprise to hear the name of another beloved Bruin being called.

Ladies and gentlemen, with the 27th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Kenny Clark is now a Green Bay Packer.
People of Green Bay and the great state of Wisconsin, you are getting a very exciting defensive tackle. He is strong, can shed tackles and is good in pursuit. And to those opposing hiim, do not get caught by him or you will be destroyed.
Anyway, let us take a look at what Twitter had to say about Clark:

Kenny Clark was a great player for UCLA, but wouldn't have dreamed he'd wind up going ahead of Myles Jack.

No big surprise GB grabbed UCLA DT Kenny Clark. Since Ted Thompson took over GB in 2005, he's taken 5 UCLA players, more than any school.
