In draft history. Most in SEC, even Auburn haters have to admit that's impressive. Anybody know who has the 2nd most?

How many players drafted total? Where does that number rank in the SEC and the nation. Typically if someone is singling out a specific category they do it to make themselves look better.

Good Job

And I'm not trolling your thread, but the NFL draft started in the 1930's so only 38 back drafted isn't really that many.

Are you sure you aren't leaving out a time frame maybe?

Since 1950 Arkansas has had 48 drafted.

He is off on his numbers or he has a time frame he didn't tweet.

Back to 1950, Arkansas has had 48 drafted. So he has to be starting at some year period.

Drat history. com claims Auburn has had 36 running backs drafted, but it claims Arkansas has only had 24

How far back does that site go?

The NFL draft began in 1938 and 24 is far off from our media guide number. I stopped counting at 1950 a bit ago.

You sure your media only lists the NFL draft? Media guides are designed to make your school look as good as possible so I imagine they're listing players drafted into any professional draft.
I pulled up NFL.com and a quick glance at what they have listed for Arkansas looks closer to what what drafthistory.com has listed than what your media guide has listed.

Another thing that might be throwing the stats off is that a lot of times players enter the Draft without an official position listed. Still happens today but was very common all the way until the late 80's. That could mean that Arkansas might have their players in their media guide listed by the position they played in college while the Auburn coach could have pulled up a site like drafthistory.com or NFL.com that would have only shown him results for players officially drafted as RBs/HBs and not pulled up players without a position listed.

I know this is hard to believe but professional football actually began long before they ever played a Super Bowl. Crazy, I know.
