Telling stat regarding injuries

Heard this on WJOX a few minutes ago; they were quoting the CFB Nerds site, I think.
They named several guys who are finishing their careers and / or have the potential to go in the first round of the draft (Tua, Jeudy, Ruggs, D. Smith, N. Harris, Wills, Moses, Diggs, and maybe a couple of others). Over the past three years, the number of games all of those guys played in as a group is …
Zero.
In other words, not one single time over the past three years have our starters / best players all been available for a game. All have missed at least one, if not multiple games due to injury
That is just unreal.

Its a little misleading. One guy, Moses, negates this year. Diggs missed 9 out of 15 last year. So just between those two over half of the 3 years is accounted for.
But yeah, still sucks.

I'm curious if there is some type of stat that compares this with other top teams.
I know it's never an easy comparison.
Even for Bama, you could make the argument for last week that Bama missed its starting kicker worse than Bama missed its starting QB.

I’d bet money we are in the top 5 of injuries 3 years running.

Top 5 in country, probably close race with UT in the SEC.

Diggs is not a first rounder.
Seriously every year some of you eat up that click bait shite and every year the projections are always lower for most.

wow. That is just crazy bad injury luck.
I hope we're over that.

So is Dylan Moses turning pro or am I misreading that?

I think it’s assuming they all go pro they will have not played a single complete game together.

Read for comprehension.
The point isn't who will or won't be drafted; the point is how many of our starters never played a single game at the same time over the past three years.

It’s not luck... it continues for the past couple seasons. Something is up.

I don't think anything is "up," and I don't think it's anyone's fault. Just an incredible run of freak bad luck.
Still ... It's frustrating to think about what might have been, were it not for injuries.
