Just because guys aren't drafted doesn't mean they are 'bad'. You generally have to be elite or a physical freak to make the NFL. Even at Bama, it's only a small minority that make the NFL and they have the most NFL players by far (Bama has 57 --- Ohio State is 2nd at 47).He’s not wrong tho.

If you scroll through the all-SEC teams, there are a lot of guys on 2nd team all-SEC that don't make it to the NFL; or get signed as a UFA and waived immediately.
Obviously, we'd love guys to get drafted, but there are many excellent college players who will never make the NFL.
