BYU Football: Comparison of the 2021 NFL Draft class with previous classes

It’s been more than 10 years since BYU decided on several players on the same assignment, which they will replace this year. Baseball room Zach Wilson has become one of the 15 most sensible recruits in the NFL. Brady Christensen will be chosen as the twenty-first. Wilson will be the first quarterback decided to leave BYU since 2007 and Christensen will be the first OL to be decided outdoors at BYU since 2005.

In addition, former cougars such as Dax Milne, Matt Bushman, Khyiris Tonga, Chandon Herring, Tristen Hoge, Troy Warner, Isaiah Kaufusi and Chris Wilcox can make up their minds in the upcoming NFL draft.

For the purposes of this article, we will assume that Zach Wilson and Brady Christensen are NFL drafts. Dax Milne probably wouldn’t have declared himself for the NFL draft unless he won some pretty encouraging NFL scouting marks. he’s also recruited. The next player point includes Matt Bushman, Khyiris Tonga and Chandon Herring. If two of those 3 players decide on the project, this brings the total to five BYU players who can be chosen in the same project.

Today, I sought to answer the following question: when was the last time BYU had so many NFL draft customers with the same elegance and how does this elegance compare to other elegant ones in the BYU draft?

Take a look at this chart: track the number of players selected from BYU since 1990:

Note: This chart excludes the subsequent project.

The last time BYU had several players decided in the NFL draft, Austin Collie and Fui Vakapuna in 2009. Si 3 BYU players were selected, it would be the maximum since 3 BYU players were recruited (Brady Poppinga, Scott Young, Shaun Nua). 2005 NFL draft.

If you climb Khyiris Tonga, Chandon Herring or Matt Bushman, that would be the biggest number since five BYU players were decided in the 2002 NFL Draft.

If five BYU players were decided in the next draft, he would be tied for the time being with the highest number in the show’s history only in 1986 and 1981 when seven players were decided outside BYU. However, the NFL draft included more circulars in 1986 and 1981 if it excluded selections after the seventh circular (the number of circulars in the existing format of the NFL draft), then two players would have decided in 1986 and five players in 1981.

In other words, five NFL draft picks (in rounds one through seven) would be tied for the most in BYU history. Also, Tonga, Bushman and Herring would not hear their names in April. You can say that this is the most productive BYU draft of all time, not only for the quantity, but also for the quality:

So how does it compare to the previous classes? It all depends on what happens in rounds 4-7 with marginal prospects. The 2021 NFL Draft will be exciting for BYU enthusiasts.
