Here's a look at the NFL ready players for BYU vs. their opponent since 2016. I define NFL ready as being drafted in the NFL within 2 years. For example, in 2012 BYU had 2 NFL ready players on the roster KVN and Ziggy. Jamaal was an NFL draft pick, but wasn't drafted within 2 years of the draft in 2012. Here is the year by year breakdown with the result for BYU and opponents.
