The sec conference is a leader of draft players that have busted.

Maybe because the SEC also is the leader by far of players drafted.............period. The more you have drafted, then the more that have the potential to bust.

miktoxic

they're like buddy lee. can't bust 'em!

The National Champions rushed for 2,999 yards and here's what some of their RBs did before logic leads us to the guy that had a lot of negative plays:

Derrick Henry 5.6 ypc

Kenyan Drake 5.3 ypc

Bo Scarbrough 5.8 ypc

The QB who touched the ball on every offensive play (or 98% of them):

Jake Coker 0.9 ypc

They're not winning National Championships and consistently getting RBs drafted up in rounds 1 and 2 because they're pedestrian at run blocking over the years. They ran on Michigan State better than anyone I've seen including Ohio State last year.

None of those are particularly amazing ypc's at the college level. And what I posted about them being near the bottom in negative plays was accurate.

They run the ball more than most teams and usually have good backs that understand the philosophy, so the yards come. You're also talking about such immense talent all across the field to defend that teams can't focus on the run game totally.

That total pick chart would be more interesting if it broke each school's bar into color coded segments by decade... showing ebb and flow of programs.

That bar chart represented the players that were on active rosters as of the start of 2015. It would likely only go back a decade, decade and a half. The other post related the total draft picks in the last 20 years.

Overall, since 1936, the start of the NFL draft, only USC and Notre Dame have had more picks than Ohio State:

Colleges With Most Draft Picks College Number

USC 497

Notre Dame 493

Ohio State 430

Oklahoma 377

Nebraska 357

Michigan 351

Penn State 343

Tennessee 337

Texas 337

Alabama 333
