context_page_description: This is a list of Kansas State Wildcats football players drafted into the National Football League and American Football League. Kansas State has had a total of 147 players selected – including five players taken in the first round – from the first NFL Draft in 1936 through the 2020 NFL Draft. Kansas State had a streak of having at least one player drafted into the NFL for 26 consecutive years, until it ended in 2020.
  After the NFL merged with the AFL in 1966, the history of the AFL was officially adopted by the NFL and therefore this list includes players taken in the AFL Draft and in the Common Draft in addition to the NFL Draft. Once the AFL officially merged with the NFL in 1970, the "Common Draft" simply became the NFL Draft. Because four KSU players were selected in both the NFL and AFL drafts, the total number of selections listed below is 151, through the 2019 draft.
  Each NFL franchise seeks to add new players through the annual NFL Draft. The draft rules were last updated in 2009. The team with the worst record the previous year picks first, the next-worst team second, and so on.
