SEC in the NFL over the last 5 years

[Muhast]

I was just posting in a thread about Safeties and people mentioned Reid,Elam,and Rambo. It had me thinking about how it seems we never draft SEC players. I went ahead and did the research and found that we have drafted the 2nd fewest amount of SEC players in the last 5 years in the league.

Here is the total breakdown:

New England-13
Atlanta-11
Kansas City-11
Cincinatti-10
Indianapolis-9
Chicago-9
Green Bay-9
Philadelphia-9
Minnesota-8
Carolina-8
NY Giants-7
Denver-7
Buffalo-7
Seattle-7
Oakland-6
San Diego-6
Cleveland-6
Baltimore-6
Arizona-6
San Fran-5
Tampa-5
Pittsburgh-5
Houston-5
NY Jets-5
St. Louis-4
Tennessee-4
Dallas-3
Miami-3
New Orleans-2
Detroit-2
Washington-2
Jacksonville-2

Washington was the only playoff team with less SEC players drafted than us.

Just thought it was interesting.

On the surface, interesting indeed. Going further, I'd be interested in seeing how many of those players are significant contributors to their teams' success. Off the top of my head, I know that NE's LB core is pretty much all SEC.
