How unique was the 2013 team?

Before #8, #3, #80, #31 etc.
What was the last college team to have a starting QB, RB, and two WRs start the following year in the NFL?

I thought CLM couldn't do anything but toss dives and rely on the defense?

Is this considered a softball thread?

Very unique.
Incredible offense. horseshite defense.
It's usually the opposite around here.

Serious question. I know that the team with Russell, Bowe, Davis and Addai was close.
But have there been other college teams--many other college teams that have done this??

They weren't all in the same draft.

Swing and a miss.
And Mett started like 6 games, but I wouldn't consider him an NFL starter. He got the chance to start because of injuries. And they drafted a QB #2 overall who is going to start day 1 there.
And to take a stab to the question, I would guess Miami in the early 2000s... Ken Dorsey started some his rookie year in the NFL and his skill players were Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, and Shockey. And the 2005 USC team with Leinart, Bush and White, Steve Smith and Dwayne Jarrett.
Haven't looked anything up but those teams/players come to mind.

2011 was 10x better

Tiger fans are so focused on their team they often don't see the bigger picture. Yes the LSU offense was very good in 13 and they had four NFL players leading the way with a nice compliment of other players many of which will end up in the NFL or have already made it there.
In 2013, there was an explosion of offense in the SEC and the nation as a whole. Across the board defenses struggled, but facts are facts.
The "horseshite defense" that Bottom9 refers too in 13 was ranked higher in both the the SEC and nationally than the "unique" offense the OP refers too.
If you were like me and watched the LSU games and maybe several others, it is easy to come to the conclusion that the O was dominant over the D. I did as well being a starved for offense Tiger fan, but the truth just doesn't bear out that the O was better than the D relatively speaking
It was our best offense along with many other teams that year. I'd love to have a similar one now.

Your logic misses an important point. If you give Les Miles an average D and an average O, his D will end the season ranked much higher than the O. It's because his style of offense allows the defense time to rest and limits turnovers that put the D in bad positions.
Last year was a good example of this. Our defense was very average. But even with a poor offense, our defensive statistics looked good.
Putting statistics aside, the 2013 offense was very good, and the 2013 defense was average. The offense was much better than the defense.

Offense ranked in the middle of the pack in the SEC. Not that unique.
Posted on 7/4/15 at 8:56 am to easy money
How many times are yall going to say this silly shite? Of course it ranked in the middle in TOTAL yards. We ran much fewer plays. By they were near the top in efficiency, yards per play, points per play, etc....you know...shite that matters.

They were efficient and far better than most years we have witnessed lately. My gripe is, that should be the norm, not a unique season. Also, the highest ranked in any of those categories you mentioned is 4th in the SEC. That's hardly unique or elite. The defense ranked top 4 in almost every category in the SEC and they got bashed the whole season.

Unless you watched the actual games. The D played better later on in the season, but was horrible against UGA. Then they also let Ole Miss storm down the field for the win after a great comeback
If you actually look at advanced metrics, the offense was easily better. Yards and points per game aren't very accurate stats
