It says that the Valley only had one, I can remember the WIU linebacker and a kid for NDSU so that is at least two.

Yeah, the writer must have had NDSU in the Great West yet as he showed the that conference with two. I think Barden from Cal Poly was the only Great West player.

Congrats to the Southland!

This is great news for the league and hopefully, there will be more famous professionals listed in the SLC Media Guides to come...

Well - it's something that those with proud traditions of sending players to the NFL have stuck their chest out before - so why not boast a little?

Nah. Bear fans are used to their team not getting respect. It'll be proven on the field again. Brown went to the Jags where his competition for QB will be gone soon enough. But a poster on FANS brought up a point about SLC draftees. He asked the question, how many of our conference guys were products of the SLC and not transfers from other schools? UCA had no-one drafted but if Nathan would have been then he's straight out of high school in Arkansas, straight to UCA and not a transfer from another school in the FBS or whatever. Bomar was out of Oklahoma. What about the other three?

Congrats to the SLC!!!

The better test is how many players from the respective conferences are on NFL rosters in 6 months.

Webb and Bomar were transfers but Lawrence and Edison were high school signees.
