my point still stands. Maybe you are trying to argue "raw athleticism"? Even if we looked at just that. 12 players drafted vs 53 NFL ready. Not to mention the fact that being drafted does not equate to success in the NFL. I win either way.

One of the dumbest things I've ever heard they just said during the Ohio State game

The most inept NFL teams would beat them by 30+

Only if they let up halfway through the 2nd quarter.

Every year someone makes a comment about the best college team being able to compete with the worst NFL team.

An FCS team would never beat a top 5 Michigan team.

Not the same.

Name a closer comparison that actually happens.

A better example would be Corner Canyon vs Weber St. CC would get killed.

NIL might make the enormous the gap between college and the NFL a little smaller

It might get there someday. Today. It is not close.

NIL still won't give you a full team of NFL caliber players. And NIL will not

That's 3 players, only 19 more to go.

Yep. NFL has 22 of “those” players starting, and another 31 waiting on the sideline

Totally disagree. NFL players are full time players, they are at the peak of strength(age)for men, and their teams spend

T/F: NFL teams would struggle to keep up with LSU’s 2023 skill position talent

False. They wouldn't because the lines would get blown up and it wouldn't matter.

CSoul

We’re talking past each other. Put the lines aside and answer the question

Odysseus

Sure, but that's not what the announcer was referencing though. Of course there is NFL talent on teams

I do think 20-30 years ago the difference was closer before the amount of money in the NFL went crazy.
