Through the first 40 picks of the NFL Draft last week, four Big 12 defensive players had been selected – OU linebacker Kenneth Murray, Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks, TCU cornerback Jeff Gladney and TCU lineman Ross Blacklock.
That’s as many defenders as the Big Ten had in the first 40 picks. That’s twice as many defenders as the ACC and Pac-12 had combined.
Man, if we could just get Big 12 offenses to pick up the slack, this conference might get somewhere.
OK, no more fooling around. But you have to admit, the draft showed some interesting numbers.
