GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Former Ashwaubenon quarterback James Morgan was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday by the New York Jets.
Morgan, the 125th overall pick, becomes the first quarterback from the Green Bay area to be selected in the NFL Draft since 1988, when former Green Bay West and Wisconsin signal-caller Bud Keys was a 10th-round pick by the Packers.
Morgan, who grew up a mile from Lambeau Field, started his college career at Bowling Green, but then transferred after two seasons to Florida International. Last season, Morgan threw for 2,585 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions. In 2018, Morgan threw for 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
In four seasons, Morgan threw for 65 touchdowns and 34 interceptions.
