Buckle your chinstrap: NFL rosters are SEC-loaded
Watch the NFL on Sundays after an appetizing day of college football and you’ll notice former SEC players all over the field.
According to a recent look into NFL standouts by position, a CBS Sports infographic reveals that four SEC programs — LSU, Alabama, Georgia and Florida — make up four of the Top 5 pro-producing programs in the country.
Nine different positions are dominated by SEC talent including wide receiver, defensive tackle, defensive end and cornerback. The raw numbers are astounding.
