A few surprises here. Keep in mind these are DRAFT PICKS...many FCS players go undrafted, yet make an impact on a roster.

I STILL HATE MARSHALL! Every time I see that movie, I root for Xavier!!!!!!!
A little Stats manipulation....Players at Montana were 7 times more likely to be drafted than those at Furman, Jacksonville State, New Hampshire, North Carolina A&T, Sam Houston State, South Dakota State, Stephen F. Austin, and Weber State. And more than twice as likely than those at Eastern Illinois, Georgia Southern, Illinois State, James Madison, Maine, Southern Illinois, Villanova, Delaware, Montana State, Northern Iowa, Richmond, South Dakota, Citadel and Youngstown State.

FCS Playoffs - 2019, 2017
This kinda surprised me. NDSU has had great success in the FCS in this decade but they have done it as a team overall but have had some really talented players YEARLY winning Nattys! UCA, only FCS post season eligible since 2010, has had a good W/L record but struggled when it came to the playoffs...yet both teams have had 4 players drafted. That's strange to see. 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...4 – Central Arkansas, Chattanooga, Coastal Carolina, North Dakota State, Samford and Tennessee State
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
Based on the numbers it's obvious not many FCS players get drafted. So I don't see to much of an issue with the PL's number. Lehigh, Colgate and Fordham have had elite FCS talent in recent years. If a certain players is good enough to get drafted, awesome. If they're good enough to earn a camp spot great. If their degree gets them a great job just as well.
Spadola might have been a late rounder if not for twitter gate. As it turned out, he managed to see some regular season action as a UDFA. I'm surprised Pelletier is not getting more love. He seems like a next level talent to me. TP is bigger than Spadola is.
Temple B.B.A., DePaul M.Ed., Kansas State Ph.D. (in progress) & Lehigh Blood! Go Mountain Hawks!
A more accurate number would be to go look @ the amount that are on current (err well last year) rosters. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/a...17-nfl-rostersThis kinda surprised me.

NDSU has multiple guys per year that got undrafted free agents and then stick around. John Crockett and CJ Smith are two that I'm already thinking of off the top of my head.
2011, '12, '13, '14 '15 '17 '18 & '19 National Champions
2 players didn't get drafted with injuries, but they were low rounders. Another 1-2 did not try to go to the NFL, also chance at low rounds. But NDSU has a lot of G5 like talent playing well, just not enough high skill blue chip players. Every year 1-2 players will get picked up as UDFA, mostly they'll get cut.This kinda surprised me.

Not a very long list. But, I would like to see another thread regarding Super Bowl rings.
Spadola was 50/50 and I doubt Twitter effected it. Sometimes the draft just does not go in your favor.
