Two consecutive years without a draft pick for Vandy.

Better undrafted and be able to pick a winning team rather than get stuck with a 1-15 team.

I could see him signing with the Giants. John Egorugwu is on the Giants coaching staff (Vandy's LB coach in 2021) and I know they mentioned during one of the broadcast last season that Coach Egorugwu had said that the Giants could use more LBs like him. Hopefully he makes a roster, I think he has a lot to contribute to some team.

Vandy is the only SEC school without a draftee. Not a good look for a program that prides itself on developing players... hopefully things will soon change.

Alabama — 10
Georgia — 10
Florida — 6
LSU — 6
Tennessee — 5
Auburn — 5
South Carolina — 5
Ole Miss — 4
Kentucky — 3

The point is valid that no draft picks hurts. The irony is Alan George actually made the Bengals last year - even undrafted..’.

Still, Orji was a good player who had good results at the combine. It makes you wonder….

Steen of course goes to Bama’s numbers. He is also, really, one of ours in my mind. Although the Bama pedigree obviously helped….
