LSU football’s 2020 draft and why it was tough for Ole Miss

2020 has been the year of LSU football so far.

After winning the national championship by beating Clemson in January, LSU football continued their hot streak by having 14 players selected in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The 14 selections broke a SEC record previously held by Alabama (12 players selected in 2018) and it tied an all-time record set by Ohio State in 2004.

But while Tigers fans across the country were celebrating LSU’s success in the draft, there was one program that probably didn’t handle it too well.

Ole Miss.

That’s because while LSU was dominating the draft, Ole Miss, a program who just fired their head coach and brought Lane Kiffin back to the SEC, didn’t have a single player selected.
