Missouri's Ennis Rakestraw Jr., left, and Jayden Jernigan celebrate a defensive stop against Vanderbilt in the first half of an NCAA football game.DALLAS — Missouri Tigers defensive back and North Texas native Ennis Rakestraw Jr. was selected No. 61 overall in the second round by the Detroit Lions in the 2024 NFL Draft.
"Rakestraw plays the game with good physicality and a competitive tilt that defensive back coaches will enjoy. He’s strong but not as big or fast as teams usually like when picking within the first three rounds of the draft," NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein said."However, he’s hard-nosed in press and has the body control and anticipation to play a sticky brand of man coverage over the first two levels.
In 2023, his redshirt junior year, Rakestraw Jr. appeared in nine games and started eight. He logged 35 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and four pass breakups.
