[QUOTE="mmbt0ne, post: 283132, member: 855"] You two are comparing different numbers with different denominators. He is saying < 10% of recruits are 4 and 5*, and 23% of NFL starts are 4 and 5*. You're saying that 1.6% of all college players make the NFL. If we're going to take all college players, then the numbers work out about like so: FBS: 130 teams FCS: 125 teams DII: 170 teams DIII: 248 teams NAIA: 86 teams NJCAA: 66 teams CCCAA: 105 teams Assuming every team is taking 16 players per year that works out to 14,880 players. 253 players got drafted last year, 253/14,880 = 1.70% so those numbers feel reasonable. Meanwhile, about 300 players each year are 4 and 5* and 300/14880 = 2.02% of all recruits So 2.02% of all recruits turn in to 23% of all NFL starters. Sign me up for those kind of odds! [/QUOTE]
