[QUOTE="Billygoat91, post: 875864, member: 4766"] Our players that changed positions with their prospective pro deals (Howard, Carpenter) from what we played them is frustrating. Howard may have been signed for special teams purposes like Cottrell was. Carpenter more so because outside of Charlie Thomas, linebacker has been a position that has lacked depth and playmaking ability I don't think our problem with NFL players has been undrafted deals. It is longevity, or lack there of, of their careers that is concerning from a recruiting stand point. Waller, Gotsis, Mason, Butker, Attacochu, and Harvin are our primary talented players in the NFL and we have pretty good bang for our buck there. Waller, Shaq Mason, and Butker are all widely respected in league circles and top 5 at their positions, but only having 6 active NFL veterans is a small number for a P-5 school. When accounting for undrafted deals this year, we have 14 players in the NFL right now, Duke has 18..... I think we all consider GT a superior program to Duke in just about every facet. We have to put more guys in the league to help with recruiting if we want to run systems similar to the rest of college football and win. Obviously, if we run an unorthodox system, the whole number of players we have in the league thing is rendered somewhat irrelevant if we can get our NIL machine up and running. [/QUOTE]
