LSU football set a new standard in the 2020 NFL Draft by having 14 players selected.
That’s a new SEC record (breaking the previous record of 12 by Alabama in 2018) and it tied the all-time record set by Ohio State in 2004.
Of the 14 LSU players selected in this year’s draft, five of them were first round picks (Joe Burrow, K’Lavon Chaisson, Justin Jefferson, Patrick Queen and Clyde Edwards-Helaire).
While there’s no way to know if the Tigers will have five players selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, LSU will absolutely be well represented in the early rounds.
