ESPN article by Chris Low about how many premium (Rounds 1-3) NFL draft picks have come from the SEC. I like the comment he made about Nick Saban:
Counting his time at LSU and now Alabama, Nick Saban has recruited and signed 11 players who went on to become first-round draft choices. When you throw in the three others from Alabama who are expected to go in the first round this year, that would be 14 first-rounders for Saban in nine seasons as a head coach in the SEC.
