This week on Big Sky Now, Daily Inter Lake's Josh Amick, Jon Allen, and Fritz Neighbor break down where the top Big Sky Conference football stars landed in the NFL and CFL drafts — and what it means for their professional futures.

From Sacramento State’s Jackson Slater and Idaho’s Marcus Harris getting drafted to MSU’s Tommy Mellott and North Dakota State’s Cam Miller heading to the Raiders, we dig into the names you know and the ones you should. 

We also discuss Junior Bergen’s special teams fit with the 49ers, Lant Larrison’s potential in New England, and how players like Nick Osmo and Brody Grebe could carve out a role in the league. 

Plus: CFL-bound Keelan White and Hayden Harris bring Canadian flavor to the mix. 

It’s a full Big Sky draft recap — with insight, analysis, and a few surprises along the way.
