I could do the same exercise over the past 15 years if you wish. The fact remains that such a small percentage of the total number of players drafted are from LSU that any one team out of 32 will be statistically insignificant. Besides, what makes LSU players so desirable anymore so than players from Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Oregon, USC, Clemson, Miami, etc? The average number of LSU players drafted by any team over the past 15 years would still be around three. You need to take off your purple and gold homer glasses. |

I'm sure in your zeal you thought you had something, must be deflating to have based all those stats on incorrect parameters... And in so far as LSU, I'm an SEC first - I favor the strongest team in the conference that year, so I can't claim to be a LSU diehard homer... So your assumption is wrong as well... |

I suppose all of those teams, using your logic, must have an aversion to LSU players, as well, huh? I suppose there may be a reason why so many teams have an aversion toward LSU players.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
Because I am not wrong. Sean Payton has no more of an aversion to LSU players than does any other coach in the NFL. It's all in the numbers. So few players split between so many possible landing spots means a the number of selections from any given team will be minimal.
But if it feeds your individual desire to find faults with the coaching staff and the front office, blast away. ![]() |
