PSA Announcment: There are some NFLU tees floating around with ambiguous numbers as to what university has more players in the NFL. Please disregard these numbers are not NCAA sanctioned.

I don't really give a shite about what they do after leaving Bama. I am a college football fan and I haven't watched a pro game in years. LSU fans put a lot of emphasis on pro careers of former tigers because it is all they have. Those guys like Fournette didn't win shite in college like our guys did.

You should care more. It's a staple in any NFL feeder college program. Why does LSU pull so many highly regarded DBs? Because we put them in the NFL at a high rate. 17 DBs drafted in the last 10 years I believe.

I guarantee you that's one of the reasons top recruits go to Bama. They know they'll be prepped for the NFL well.

That is fine, but most recruits think the other way. They want to get the big NFL check.

Active on 53 man rosters:
LSU 40
Bama 39

That's down Ware and Breaux who are on the IR/PUP list, they were starting for their teams

Both teams should be proud of their NFL players. It's not a contest.
