SALT LAKE CITY — The Utes continue to get players to the next level and the 2013 NFL draft is no different.

Star Lotulelei went 14th overall to the Carolina Panthers and now Joe Kruger has been selected 212th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Joe will join his older brother Paul and his brother-in-law Tony Bergstrom in the NFL.

This off season Paul signed a $40 million contract with the Cleveland Browns. He played a huge role for the Baltimore Ravens at defensive end on their way to winning the Super Bowl.

Bergstrom was drafted last year by the Raiders and is still with Oakland.

Joe Kruger played in 11 games and had a team-high six sacks. He also had eight tackles for loss. He finished his career at Utah with nine total sacks.
