Looks like the CAA, Big Sky, Southland, and MVFC are the top four conferences with the MEAC very close behind.

The SLC had a banner season this past year - they stuck their chest out proudly about having more draft picks than any other leagues...

Not sure if that will hold true this year. If I am not mistaken, Nicholls has had three straight years with a player drafted. Can any other schools claim this feat?

Surprised to see the SoCon so far down, given the number of App St. players that have been great over the past 5 years.

By the way, is this the number of players who actually got drafted in the NFL draft over the past 5 years, or is the number of players currently on NFL rosters that have less than 5 years experience?

I'm guessing since it says Draft Results, he meant it. :p

Do you know how many are still on an NFL roster?

Do you know how many are still on an NFL roster?

That is almost impossible to do because by the time you calculate that there could be 2 or 3 cut the next day and 1 or 2 added on. Rosters fluctuate so much that I never keep up with it past the opening day and even then I am so busy with typing reports that I don't have much time to do that. Would be nice if someone counted just to give us an accurate estimated number of how many are on rosters.
