Garrett Reynolds, Brooks Foster selected in fifth round

Posted Apr 26, 2009
UNC offensive tackle Garrett Reynolds and wide receiver Brooks Foster had to wait a little bit longer than some of their teammates to hear their names selected in this weekend's NFL Draft, but it proved to be worth the wait, as Reynolds and Foster were called within five picks of one another. Reynolds was the No. 156 overall selection of the Draft (20th of the fifth round) by the Atlanta Falcons, while Foster was the No. 160 pick (24th of the fifth round) by the St. Louis Rams.
