Since 2012, the last high school player offered a scholarship by the staff, now up to six years of draft-eligible prospects, was drafted and is currently on an NFL roster. Amazingly, the same hit rate goes for the lowest-ranked high school signee. Since 2013, each has gone on to be drafted and remains on an NFL contract. One has even signed a $57 million extension.

One of the most-talked about examples this year has been LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who was offered a scholarship by the staff in 2017 after he became academically qualified late in the summer, and he joined the team just before fall camp.
