Let's start with No. 1 overall pick, Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza hasn't shied away from speaking about his faith throughout his career, and especially during Indiana's run to its first National Championship in program history. 

After being selected by the Las Vegas Raiders, Mendoza spoke with ESPN's Taylor McGregor saying, "The last 5 months have been such a blessing from God and I can't thank Him enough."

Tyson talking about being overcome by emotion after being selected and fulfilling a life-long dream to be an NFL player said, "I am just thankful, so blessed. Lord is doing a work on me - He's not done," Tyson said, "I am just gonna keep this thing rolling. I'm gonna give it my all, and that's all I can do."

Downs walk-out song was "King of Glory" by Grammy-award winning gospel artist, CeCe Winans.
