Anyone else surprised MTSU has more players in Super Bowl 58 than UT?

[LouderVol]

any single year it can happen. not a thing to freak out about. Maybe an issue or showing how rough we have been if MTSU had put more players in the super than we had over a period of time like a decade.

also no control about which schools players go to what NFL programs, or even how involved they are. so I don't think you can blame/hold it against a school either.

I don’t see how Alabama doesn’t have two…the 49ers have Cameron Latu and the Chiefs have Isaiah Buggs.

I think one of them is injured. I was thinking the list was active players.

Watch a lot, but go ahead and be you. Ward had 1 tackle in the game and James 0 catches. Can’t believe I missed all of that.

He's still a first string player on an NFL roster. SMDH

Still doesn't address the point that none of these players are from Tennessee anyway lol

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

They were probably 2 or 3 stars or unranked. Some on VN throw collective b***h fits if the recruits are not 4 or 5 stars.

Good point. The majority of NFL players were 2 and 3 star recruits

Obviously MTSU is the Premier program in the State...

Your response is ignorant at best. I said I haven’t heard of any of them and then you put your shallow $.02 worth. Still haven’t heard of any of them.

None of those players are from Nashville or even Tennessee. They only played at MTSU

Well then just shows how true talent is realized when you import it from somewhere else to play close to Nashville……

Jalen Hurts played three years at Alabama and scored 3 rushing TDs in the Eagles Super Bowl win.

Um

I live in M'boro. One of the knocks against Stockstill was he never recruited Rutherford County.

NFL rosters are crazy...if you look at the league as a whole, a large number of players do not come from the traditional 'Power 5' schools, but from the mid-majors and G5 schools.

Any thoughts to why that happens?
Is it a 'big fish, little pond' scenario where a player at a G5 school has more exposure and opportunity to showcase his skill set for scouts?

Why don't you just admit you don't know anything about the NFL

Large number? Yes Most? No. Not even close

 

[rickyyrs]

Wasn't Butch Jones head coach at Cincinnati when Travis and Jason Kelce was there.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Yeah. And I agree, Bama having so few is a bit of a surprise too.

So we have twice as many as Alabama! Got to spin the narrative

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

No it’s just 1 year, look at all time and get a big orange true perspective! GBO

I know quite a bit. Probably just as much as you. But since you are blessed with such great NFL
Knowledge. You can bless us all with naming all the defensive backs in the NFL and return men. Both kickoffs and Punts. Bet you can’t. So now I get another ignorant poster to deal with.

Kids from those schools are just as talented. They get great development too.

probably have the added chip on their shoulders and engrained work drive that isn't just after a pay check.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

We sucked for a long time, no surprise there.

Cool stat but pretty meaningless… if Detroit doesn’t blow a lead we woulda had 5 in the SB
