PROVO Is there a better story in BYU football than Dax Milne?
The Bingham High product went from walk-on to starter to 1,000-yard receiver in just three years and caps his collegiate career as an NFL draft pick.
Milne was selected in the seventh round Saturday, when the Washington Football Team used the penultimate selection (No. 258 overall) on the breakout receiver. The Cougars five draft picks in 2021 are the most in program history since 2002.
