Let’s begin this with a room-temperature take: Missouri should produce more NFL Draft picks than Ferris State.
Professional football’s most recent selection bonanza happened this past weekend, and the Tigers had just one draftee, wide receiver J’Mon Moore, who is now a Green Bay Packer. The Division II Bulldogs had one, too: defensive end Zach Sieler. MU has now had a player drafted in each of the past 14 years, but this was the second straight year that Mizzou produced just one draftee, and Moore did not hear his name called until the 133rd pick. During Missouri's 14-year streak of draft picks, that’s the deepest a draft has gone without a Mizzou player coming off the board.
