SEC dominating the NFL Draft again

The SEC is dominating the NFL Draft once again. In the 2020 version of the NFL Draft, Alabama and LSU are absolutely dominating.

The national champion LSU Tigers had the first overall pick in quarterback Joe Burrow. The Tigers didn’t stop there. In fact, they tied the record for most players (10) selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. Alabama (9) has the second most picks in the first three rounds of any school and almost set the record itself.

The SEC is so dominant in recruiting, college football, and the NFL Draft. Year after year the conference produces the most draft picks, picks up the highest rated recruiting classes, and has won 10 of the last 14 national titles.

The Georgia Bulldogs had two first rounds picks in the NFL Draft. LSU leads the way with five first round selection. Overall, the SEC had 15 first round picks, one selection away from having half of the NFL Draft’s first round pick.

The SEC will continue its long streak of having the most players drafted out of any conference. There’s no sign of stopping the SEC.
