Charlie still has 1.6 players per recruiting class (8/5) in the NFL even though his last recruiting class was the 2009 class. (You almost should not count 2005 and divide by four years to get 2 per year still playing)

While Kelly has 2.9 players per applicable class (2010 through 2017), it is disappointing that the difference is not greater given the short average time players are in the league. Another way of looking at it is asking whether or not in 2031, will Kelly have 8 players in the NFL from his 2016 to 2020 recruiting classes? I am not sure that he will.

Recruited by Weis and still in NFL
==================================

Jansen, JJ
Martin, Zack
Eifert, Tyler
Riddick, Theo
Young, Sam
Rudolph, Kyle
Smith, Harrison
Tate, Golden


Used to be #1 in the NFL, #1 in winning %, #1 in NC *

Should have nothing to do with noting the sheer ineptitude of everyone directly involved in the Football program decisions for the last 30 years.


Does being tied for 8th mean that ND is in the conversation? *

Yes, if we are discussing football trivia. *

In 2019, ND was tied for 16th with 25, so it's trending up. *
