The third--and final--day of the 2010 NFL Draft is under way early today, with rounds 4 through 7.

Everson Griffen's long wait ended quickly this morning when he was selected as the second pick of the fourth round (100th overall selection) by the Minnesota Vikings.

The defensive end, who declared for the NFL after his 2009 junior season, will join Vikings practice squad player Drew Radovich as Trojan alums on the Minnesota roster.

He's headed to Minneapolis, destination of USC's second road game of 2010.  The Trojans play the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sept. 18.

So, that's 5 Trojan NFL draftees so far this year.  Griffen joins Taylor Mays (49ers), Charles Brown (Saints), Damian Williams (Titans) and Kevin Thomas (Colts) as USC's newest NFLers.
