Arkansas, the new Rutgers....

Let's hope so! While we were all laughing at Bill's Rutgers obsession, we kind of overlooked what good picks those Scarlet Knights were overall. Not only did McCourty, Ryan and Harmon just form the backbone of a SB champion secondary, but take a look at the players drafted after them at their positions. (* = a player currently unsigned or out of football)

Devin McCourty (Kyle Wilson*, Patrick Robinson, Chris Cook*)
Logan Ryan (Kayvon Webster, Will Davis*, B.W. Webb)
Duron Harmon (Duke Williams*, Shamarko Thomas*, Phillip Thomas*)

Wow who ever nailed those picks should make all the secondary selections wow

What about safeties taken right after McCourty? After all, he himself washed out of the league...as a corner.

I wasn't laughing but thinking about the game last year where all three of them had a pick and BB referenced than in the locker room video post-game giving a shout out to Rutgers........

IIRC, one of the DB coaches is also front Rutgers.

You mean the one who shares a DNA profile with the head coach????

I thought it was someone else, but you might be right.

Other connection is DL coach Brendan Daly who , played and coached with Chris Ash at Drake. Ash is now head coach at Rutgers......I don't think Daly himself has a Rutgers connection....
