He wasn't drafted from College, it was from USHL.
It was his first year in College when people first really started to notice him.
But yeah, easy to overlook a guy who's in a lower-level league and was 5'6 145 lbs at the time.
Considering his physical attributes, I'd say he was drafted higher than expected.
What would have been really interesting is if he had gone undrafted, went to college and blew up like he did. He'd probably be the highest paid college UFA in history by a wide margin.
