Dan Malone has a story that quotes Coach Whipple as saying "I don't think there's any doubt Jean Sifrin can make it in the NFL".

Losing a talent like Sifrin hurts, but it can't hurt the program if another Minutemen player gets drafted. If Sifrin gets picked it'll be three picks in three years: Michael Cox, Rob Blanchflower and Jean Sifrin.

2015 could be a special year for UMass; I think Blake Fronapfel and Tajae Sharpe could comprise the Minutemen's first multiple player NFL draft since 1965 when Milt Morin was picked in the first round and Bob Meers went in the seventh.
