Fleck's NFL pedigree

If you want an idea of why P.J. Fleck says the Gophers need to continue to build their NFL talent pool, consider this: Western Michigan, Fleck's former school, a program in the Mid-American Conference and one of five Division I football programs in the state of Michigan, has 14 players currently in the NFL, all of whom have come into the league since 2016.

The Gophers, the lone D-I program in the state, have only 12.

If you compare the Gophers to their main rivals in the Big Ten, the numbers are even more skewed, with Wisconsin having 36 players on an NFL roster this season and Iowa having 33.

Let's win some games and worry about a draft scorecard later...
