LSU has the most (active) players in the NFL

Shows the legit talent in the state of Louisiana. Saban has been pushing hard for elite talent in the area and the kids have been producing.

 

Louisiana talent friggin' made saban, and that's all you need to know about it.

 

Eddie Lacy MVP of the SECCG and NCG, I agree. I'm liking that Fournette kid too.

 

Louisiana kids were making saban long before we passed on the illiterate one.

You won't for long. He's used to donning purple & gold. Will be a seemless transition for 'em.

 

Those numbers are premature. Need to wait to see who makes the 2013 opening day NFL rosters.

Here's SEC blog Saturday Down South's list of SEC players on NFL rosters in 2012:

You got to have a game-plan. It's good you can visualize. Bama has taken recruits from 10 different states in this class. Kids are recognizing that Bama is a national brand and the SEC is a prized destination. Saban has a universal hook that is reeling them in. Either way LSU will be getting theirs and we will be getting ours. Kids will decide who is who.

 

Heisman Mark Ingram was recruited out of Michigan, Trent Richardson from Florida

Note McCarron (MVP of the NCG before last) is from Bama, while Louisiana hasn't given LSU a good QB in a while:

Rohan Davey (1998-2001) - Miami, FL
Matt Mauck (2001-2003) - Indiana
JaMarcus Russell (2004-2006) - Alabama
Matt Flynn (2004-2007) - Texas

Current
Mett - Georgia
Rivers - Alabama
Jennings - Georgia
Rettig - California

 

Well, congratulations. Perhaps y'all can make an award for yourselves and t-shirts to commemerate it.

 

And Kwon, what's his name again?
