(AP) -- The Iowa Hawkeyes led all current members of the Big Ten with six players selected in last week's NFL Draft.

Former Hawks Adrian Clayborn, Christian Ballard, Ricky Stanzi, Karl Klug, Julian Vandervelde and Tyler Sash were all picked by NFL teams.

Clayborn was Iowa's only first-round pick. He was taken by Tampa Bay with the 20th overall selection.

Ohio State and Wisconsin each had five players taken in the draft.

Nebraska, which joins the league for the 2011 season, had seven players selected.

Twenty-nine Big 10 players were picked, including six in the first round from five different schools.
