Two linemen for the Laurier Golden Hawks heard their name called in Tuesday's CFL Draft.
The first didn't have to wait long, as offensive lineman and Waterloo native Bryce Bell was selected in the second round (11th overall) by the Calgary Stampeders.
Then in the fifth round (40th overall), defensive lineman Alfred Green was taken by the BC Lions.
This is the fifth year in a row the Golden Hawks saw multiple players taken in the draft.
Tight end Jake Burt of Boston College went first overall to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
