The NFL once again feasted on Power Five schools to supply their rosters and largely ignored minor football conferences such as Conference-USA (C-USA). Overall, 191 players out of the 259 total players drafted were from Power Five schools, while only four total players were recruited from C-USA.
Dominating the draft picks was the Southeastern Conference, with 65 players chosen from its ranks. National Champion Alabama had 10 total players selected, including six first-round picks. C-USA’s grand total of 4 players is down from the 2020 draft, where 10 players were chosen.
For the third consecutive year, no UTEP Miner was taken.
