In the early stages of day three of the NFL Draft, offensive guard John Simpson was selected by Las Vegas with the 109th overall pick, the third pick of the fourth round. The Raiders drafted teammate Tanner Muse in Friday night's third round.

In Simpson's senior season of 2019, the Fort Dorchester product was a consensus All-American who was a first team selection by the American Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

The Associated Press named Simpson a Second Team All-American.

Simpson became the sixth offensive lineman to earn consensus All-America honors. He was also an Outland Trophy semifinalist and a first team All-ACC pick.
