I'm not the one who called us WRU but active or not does matter. Schools in P5 conferences are more likely to have players drafted because they have all the measurables, were big recruits in high school, but don't impress in college for whatever reason and NFL coaches will draft them and turn them into a project and then dump them. The average NFL career is short, so the fact that ours stick around is actually a pretty important distinction. I'd be curious to know how many other schools have 5 WR on rosters right now. That list can't be very long. There are what, 170 WR in the league right now? 3% of the league from a small program might not be WRU, but it isn't bad.
Name me the number of teams where both starting receivers come from the same college program?
