After a second consecutive season with one player selected (Chris Slayton this time around) in the NFL Draft, the Syracuse Orange football program is making some progress in the way of producing pro talent again. However, the lack of it lately also goes to show how great of a job Dino Babers has done as head coach over three years and change.
But progress may start to speed up come next year. Or at least we’re hopeful it could. Because for as much as it’s great to exceed expectations without as many future NFL players, the more of them you have on your roster makes you more likely to win.
