Yet another glaring statistic during the Sly Croom Era

[JxnDawg39211]

Per rivals , only Duke has had fewer players drafted in the NFL draft than Mississippi State since 2005 . We know one of those was Jerious Norwood (who was a Jackie Sherill recruit), so it is safe to say that in 5 years, Sly Croom had 3 players actually get drafted.

Croom is now running backs coach with the Rams. He is looking to trade the Rams' entire 2010 draft class to move up and grab Anthony Dixon next year. It would be a Mike Ditka/Ricky Williams type move.</p>

We may not improve much, but I'd take the Gator college record. Watch the pros move to the spread and then things might change, Gruden is already learning the spread for his next gig.
