Not sure there is really a pattern of college programs consistently putting out elite NFL position groups.  Maybe LSU defensive backs and Notre Dame/Wisconsin OLs.  But this stratosphere of player is extremely rare by definition and the players tend to come from all over the country.

Yeah, now that I think about it, there's probably very little difference in the player development effectiveness between say a Maryland program versus an Ohio state. It just seems that way because many of the top high school players flock to these "elite" programs. Maryland would be considered an elite program if enough 4 and 5 stars signed to play there and improved the program's standing. 

As for patterns, you're right about LSU, Notre Dame and Wisconsin. I would add Penn State for linebackers, but that may be a little outdated now (although that Parsons kid looks pretty good 😁)

Impossible.

Yeah, can't be that. He's a hard worker. Doesn't cut corners.

he went to Ohio State. I don’t think Alabama has a great track record with developing DL talent. They have had a bunch of solid NLF players, but their DB’s and LB’s have been better. 

Haha oops! I that's what I get for not paying enough attention to what I was typing. I'll fix it. Thanks for catching that!

I assume Ledo Pizza is a pizza joint in Maryland.. I appreciate the responses y'all... makes complete sense if you want to be the best you got to be part of the best of the best

Haha yeah, it's a local pizza place born in College Park, MD. 

I'm a vacuum, I'm sure Maryland has incredible facilities. But when you start comparing them to the perennial championship contenders' facilities, I'll bet you can spot some differences. Not to mention the quality of the coaching.

If chase young is from Maryland why wouldn't he go to a college in that area?..I guess same thing for all the other players who do that..

Could be a number of reasons. A lot of kids want to get away from home when they go to college. I would venture to Guess that Bama THE Ohio State University has one of the better development records when it comes to college football. Or maybe he just really despises LEDO pizza...

why does chase always look like he has a 6 pack beer gut ?

clearly he's ripped but he definitely has an unusual looking midriff 

It's just a "food baby." 

He's often photographed shortly after eating up a QB.

If we can't get an update in general to the logo, I'd like this once in awhile at least. The 1937 Throwback look was simple but different, and the helmet was an interesting take on the leather helmets from the time.

I know a lot of people weren't big fans of these Unis, but I absolutely love them. I wish we would at least wear them one game out of each year. Those along with the yellow helmets. NFL really needs to change that one helmet rule.

if that's the case, could he be a fullback?  Cause I thought Rivera liked them

I'm not real familiar with Scott Turner's offense. Does he use fullbacks at all? I'd rather not carry a guy just to be a fullback. Would be cool to see them utilize one of the tight ends or a d lineman in that role if it was just needed for occasional runs. 

As for WR, I'm excited for these guys and hope this is our corps:

McLaurin, SSims, Harmon, Gibson, Gandy-Golden. I want them to cut Latimer. Gibson can have his special teams role. I still like a few of the other guys as developmental players--Quinn, CSims, Wright, Kidsy, etc., but I would be fine sticking them on the practice squad for now. I think it's more important to have an extra tight end. We're going to have a lot of question marks at that position all year long.

Chase is already on it.

Good dude. Knew him from a little league team. My son was a teammate. Solid parents. Definitely a good fit.

I just talked to my friend who works there. I can confirm that he definitely did this. She was a little upset that she didn't make it in time to get any Chipotle though lol. 

I'm 100% sold on Young at #2.

Atlanta can have the pick if they give us all of their 2020 picks this year along with their 1 and 2 next year. 

LIGHTNING McLAURIN!

They’ve had Peyton and then Luck since 1998.  Minus 2 seasons when they were injured. 

 

My my heart BLEEDS for them.

I could not imagine being a colts fan right now..after watching them play us last year and the way they played other games I pinned them as favs in the playoffs 

Mind blowing. Can't imagine what Colts fans are going through. Losing an elite QB and face of the franchise in one fell swoop. That's rough.
