65 SEC players were selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. That’s tied for the most players that any conference has had picked in a single draft, equaling the SEC’s 2021 draft output. Based on draft projections for 2023, the SEC could break its record this week.
NFL drafts have opened with two players from the same program. On Thursday night, Alabama QB Bryce Young and LB Will Anderson Jr. are considered contenders to be the first two players picked. In 1967, Michigan State DT Bubba Smith went No. 1 to the Baltimore Colts and RB Clint Jones went No. 2 to the Minnesota Vikings. In 1984, Nebraska WR Irving Fryar went No. 1 to the New England Patriots and OT Dean Steinkuhler went No. 2 to the Houston Oilers. In 2000, Penn State DE Courtney Brown went No.
