LSU had 14 players selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, including quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. The Tigers also had several players sign with NFL teams as undrafted free agents (including tight end Thaddeus Moss). It seems that analysts/publications are focusing on the talent LSU lost, instead of the talent that’s present in Baton Rouge.
