Was just reading a post in another thread and seeing something similar like why WRs would ever want to come to LSU and it got me thinking, We are the best in the SEC in putting WRs in the NFL.

This dated article(players only up to 2010) also proves my point.

quote:

Over the last decade, LSU has established itself as the premier school in the SEC and one of the best in the nation for putting wide receivers into the NFL. Since the 2001 draft, 10 LSU receivers have been selected in the NFL Draft, the highest number for any SEC school over that time period. In addition, seven of those players were selected in the top three rounds of the draft. That number also represents the highest in the league.


The year after next we got another in the top 3 (Reuben Randle). Only other teams that did equal or better was UT and USCe.

As a matter of fact LSU would have 2 of the top 10 WRs in the SEC right now if there was an official ranking.

I think the individual players deserve a little bit of credit as well.
