The colleges with the most picks in the 2020 NFL Draft
The 2020 NFL Draft is in the books, and to no one’s surprise, NFL teams added plenty of stars from the SEC over the last three days. A total of 63 players were drafted from SEC programs, 16 more than the Big Ten, and nearly double the Pac-12’s total (32).
The Cincinnati Bengals led off the draft by taking former LSU Tigers star Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick, and four of Burrow’s teammates were selected in the first round after a stellar championship year. In all, LSU had 14 players drafted to tie Ohio State’s draft record for a single draft – and many fans were surprised the total wasn’t 15, as tight end Thaddeus Moss went undrafted (but quickly signed with the Redskins).
