Saw an interesting stat for Buford players that makes me not mad that we keep missing on them-

They’ve had ONE player drafted by the NFL in the last 20 years. I know that will change with Downs, Haynes, etc, but still a pretty amazing statistic.

ETA: And of course it isn’t true. But, what is true is they haven’t had a player picked higher than Round 5 since prior to 2002. Maybe it’s true that Buford players peak in HS and don’t develop further.

As good as they've been, that's an interesting stat.

My guess is Grayson and Butford students are mostly transplants with not real allegiance to UGA. That's the only viable conclusion I can think of.

Downs didn't play for Buford.

One of the many reasons he picked Ohio State is Larry Johnson (Bosa brothers, Chase Young) development at DE and his mother loved LJ.
