The 2020 NFL Draft and the 2020 MLB Draft have both come and gone now, and the SEC performed well in both events.
But, there were 6 schools across the country that pulled off an impressive feat, having players go in Round 1 of both drafts.
As you can see below, of those 6 schools, 3 SEC squads — Auburn, Georgia and South Carolina — had players taken in Round 1 for the NFL and MLB events:
6 Schools had players selected in the first round of both the 2020 #NFLDraft and #MLBDraft:
• Arizona State
• Georgia
• Louisville
• Oklahoma
• South Carolina
• Auburn— RedditCFB (@RedditCFB) June 11, 2020
Georgia (with Anthony Edwards) and Auburn (with Isaac Okoro) are almost guarantees to make it 3-for-3 in major drafts when the 2020 NBA Draft takes place in October.
What a year for those 6 schools!
