Interesting Stat: Not a Single 5-Star Recruit on the Patriots or Seahawks Roster

[iowajerms]

Iowa is 2nd in the B1G since 2010 in NFL Draft picks and 1st round Draft picks to Ohio State.

Not a single one of them is a 5-star recruit and most are 2- or 3-star recruits.

Which is why they can't field a decent team. I remember when Iowa was good. They can't even beat Big 12 doormat Iowa State these days.

Wisconsin knows hot to recruit and develop. They don't need gift wrapped 5 star players.

HUH? 0 NC's and only 6 conference titles since 1962.......

All that NFL talent and Iowa sucks. Can't even beat Iowa State with NFL talent. Damn, Ferentz is awful. Can't believe Iowa pays him that insane salary.

College Football is a different sport.


These guys are rated on how they are projected to perform in College....not the pro game.

Wasn't Patrick Lewis a five star who started center for the seahawks late

The percentage of 5 stars in college ball is very small.

The percentage of 5 stars in the NFL is even smaller.

 

[tducey]

Yeah and Tom Brady went in the 6th round of his draft, rather here about diamonds in the rough being successful than some guy that was supposed to be a big deal.

Talking about NFL talent.

Here's some back of the envelope math.

There appears to be 25 5-star athletes total for the 2015 recruiting class according to rivals.com.

Given 125 teams and about 20 players per team sign, that's 2500 kids signing on singing day.

25/2500 = 1%.

There are approximately 1600 total players in the NFL.

One percent of that would be 16 players. I'm waaaaay too lazy to do the research, but I would bet that more than 16 players in the NFL were rated at 5 stars as high school prospects.

25 5 stars can't be right, Alabama has only 23 recruits for this class so far. The math is not adding up.

Signing with Bama automatically adds a star..........it's true, ask Dee Hart
