Multiple SEC programs top list of most players on NFL 53-man rosters

The SEC has its handprints all over the NFL. Both starting quarterbacks in last year’s Super Bowl hailed from the SEC, as did many others such as Leonard Floyd, Ja’Marr Chase, Odell Beckham Jr., CJ Uzomah and Van Jefferson, to name a few.
Four of the top 10 schools for NFL talent are from the conference, as posted by NFL Insider Field Yates. Guess which program has the most?
The 10 schools with the most players on 53-man rosters as Week 1 begins:
1. Alabama: 58
2. LSU: 53
3. Ohio State: 51
4. Georgia: 43
5. Notre Dame: 35
6. Penn State: 34
7. Michigan: 33
T-8. Oklahoma: 32
T-8. Florida: 32
10. Iowa: 30— Field Yates (@FieldYates) September 6, 2022
Honestly, it’s surprising that Alabama isn’t comfortably in the lead here. I would have also guessed that Georgia would have more NFL talent than LSU, even after a strong past couple of seasons.
Does any of this list surprise you?
