those are the 2 main reasons.

i think he'd love to have guys in the NFL, as evidenced by his gushing over the ziggy story and appearing with ziggy everywhere leading up to the draft.

but, NFL hasn't happened under bronco. the main reason is he has recruited tons of kids who are going on missions. kids who go on missions, by rule, nearly never play in the NFL or NBA---exceptions exist but are rare.

so, there you have it. would it help recruiting if we placed more in the NFL? yes. would we have better results on the field if we placed more kids in the NFL? yes, because we'd have had better players winning their matchups on the field.

USU has more players in the NFL than bronco. Utah has way more.

but don't worry, all is well in zion. we hammered savanah state and middle tennessee.
