JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Myjai Sanders had to wait all night to hear his name called, but it was well worth the wait.
The former Raines and Camden County star was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the 100th pick (3rd round).
Sanders hosted a draft party at his Uncle's house in Jacksonville tonight. The Cincinnati Bearcat edge rusher said he received a wealth of advice from former Raines lineman, Solomon Kindley, who now plays for the Miami Dolphins.
"He told me it's going to drive me crazy, but just be humble stay who you are and Solomon he helped me with a lot of things on and off the field and Sol is just one of the dudes I could always count on," Sanders said.
"I've just been encouraging him and letting him know ever since he was small ever since he was in college he's my No. 1 draft pick so no matter what he is," Sander's mom, Armaletha Ford, said.
Sanders was a three-year starter at Cincinnati and helped lead the Bearcats to the College Football Playoff this past season.
