How does that apply to Leslie, Fua, Wesley and Daniel?
You'd think at least 1 of those guys would get drafted, most likely Fua or Leslie. But nope and none are RMs.

So you're saying there's not a lot of white guys playing in the NFL?

The NFL is obviously racist. Purposely avoiding the much better white cornerback

27% white boys in the NFL. Surely that hurts the odds of a white BYU team.

1/4 white player are QBs, Kickers, or Punter.

It comes down to percentages, not individuals.

Frankly, none of those guys were all that impressive on the field.

Not NFL impressive, though. Fua is too skinny, Daniel too slow, Wesley too soft

In expectation, BYU will send 1 player to the NFL via the draft every year.
Random Walk

Or next year we will have 3 drafted and the average will be met.
