It took a while, but the names of two former Sun Devil football players were called at the NFL draft on Sunday.
Offensive lineman Paul Fanaika and safety Troy Nolan were selected in the seventh and final round.
Fanaika was selected as the fourth pick of the round (213th overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles.
The former ASU walk-on played in 48 games during his Sun Devil career and was twice named an All-Pac-10 honorable mention.
Ten picks after Fanaika went off the board, Nolan was drafted by the Houston Texans (223rd overall).
Nolan, a former junior-college transfer who was named to the 2008 All-Pac-10 second team, returned four interceptions for touchdowns during his two seasons in Tempe.
Notable Sun Devils who were not selected and will now hope to sign a free-agent contract include: quarterback Rudy Carpenter, running back Keegan Herring, wide receiver Mike Jones and linebacker Morris Wooten.
