I thought NDSU would have had more drafted by far than UCA. This confirms my thoughts that they win because they play as a team...xthumbsupx
Very good observation. On the FCS level, it is very rare to see that one player that truly takes over the game (thinking about RG3 at Baylor-esque type of performance). We see players have breakout games, but I really don't see those that are consistently (week in and week out) the entire production of a team....and if we do, those team end up wearing out that kid as the season goes on. NDSU has a ton of talent, but so do plenty of other teams at our level, they just have figured out a better way to use that talent!!!

I think you are right. Our drafted players were very much stand-out, go to, players week in and week out at the DII level. I can see the differences between our DII days and now that we are FCS and have to rely on more depth and spread out talent team wide.

Current FCS member ACU has had 2 players drafted since 2010.
I understand why The Wildcats were not listed since we were not Officially in FCS at the time. This post is simply to brag a bit about our history.

The Ivy League had two draft picks this year:
- Justin Watson, WR, Univeristy of Pennsylvania, 144th overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- Foye Oluokun, LB, Yale, 200th overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons.

I don't think you guys have had anyone not get drafted who was a definite pick except this year DeLuca could be that guy who had injuries knock him out.
I think Zack Johnson would have played his way into that conversation had he not injured himself early in Shrine Game practices
I never understood why Christian Dudzik never even got a look. 4.33 40 on a 4 year starter at two positions

Moved to the "Ins & Outs" since it is draft stuff.
