While Alabama and its SEC cohorts set a record over the past few days with the best NFL draft showing by one conference in league history, the draft’s outcome was not so sunny for some programs
Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams was one of 10 Crimson Tide players selected over the last three days in the NFL draft. While Alabama and its SEC cohorts set a record over the last three days with the best NFL draft showing by one conference in league history, the draft’s outcome was not so sunny for some programs.
Over that time, NFL teams drafted 303 Nebraska players, a list that includes 30 first-round picks, one No. 1 overall selection , four No. 2 overall selections and two players who have been selected as Pro Football Hall of Famers . Believe it or not, Purdue actually had a player picked in every draft since 1997 until this weekend, with draftees like Drew Brees, Ryan Kerrigan, Kyle Orton, Matt Light, Kawann Short and Rosevelt Colvin developing into NFL standouts during that time. As a program that posted a losing record in 10 of the last 14 seasons, Purdue pulled off a remarkable feat by keeping its streak alive for so long.
In leading all conferences in draft picks for the 13th straight year, the SEC alone was responsible for 25.2% of all players picked, far and away the most of any conference. The next-closest league was the Big Ten, whose 40 picks represented 15.7% of the 254 overall selections. Then came the Pac-12 , ACC and Big 12 .
