AU has a perception problem with the NFL right now
If you're right, that could be a helluva problem in recruiting.
You would think but it has not hurt us at all due to a couple factors. Bama is recruiting at such a high level its not like any team, let alone AU, is touching them anytime soon. LSU and AU rarely are in recruiting battles. This definitely needs to be addressed and I think having Steele on staff will help within NFL circles (although I htink he is an overall meh DC). It will hurt us in recruiting battles with UGA first and foremost. Truly amazing that every year we have 1 or 2 late first round locks that end up sliding to late 2nd/3rd. That tells me the NFL doesn't trust the development.

I've heard it has to some degree. .Also heard that Smart is the biggest negative recruiter on the trail

AU is a top 10 program when it comes to number of NFL players. 5th in SEC behind Bama, LSU, Florida and UGA.
Not great, but far from a perception problem.
