Florida State Seminoles football had just one player selected in the NFL Draft this past week — defensive end Jermaine Johnson, a first-round pick to the New York Jets.
It’s the second time in the last three years (2020, Cam Akers, No. 52 overall to the Los Angeles Rams) but just the third since 2009.
From Brendan Sonnone of Noles247, here’s the number of players drafted from the last few recruiting classes in Tallahassee:
2017: 14
2018: 8
2019: 6
2020: 4
2021: 1
With FSU seemingly placing less and less talent in the league, is that a reflection of the work that has to be done in Tallahassee to return the Seminoles to prominence?
