Super Bowl starters' star ratings from high school

[Dwinstitles]

To quote the article: Thirty-nine percent of the Super Bowl starters were four- or five-star recruits. To put it another way, about two in every five Super Bowl starters were four- or five-star recruits, but only about one in every 770 recruits are rated as such. So yes, your odds of starting in the Super Bowl are, unsurprisingly, much higher if you were a superstar recruit in high school.

Now don’t go making sense with the stats. If you start look at base lines and weight and such, next thing you know you strat thinking the government is lying about things like inflation and unemployment numbers. Then you end up undoing the entire Clinton presidency and first 7 years for bush jr.

Then the earths flat then all shootings are staged and the nonsense keeps mutating

I saw an article a few years ago that the Patriots had the overall highest Wonderlic score in the NFL and it wasn't close.

You think about the Pats and they aren't loaded with past college football stars. The thing they consistently do is reload/replace guys with basically the same player. They know their system and do a better job than anyone at addressing their needs.

Seems like they opponent is loaded at highly regarded recruits. So is the NFL and as it has always played out, your odds of getting drafted are higher the higher your star rating.

Take away brady and tell me what happens

So you don't think Saban is up to his ears in Russian collusion?

Coaching matters in college. Not as much in the pros. It's a big variable.

Give golden 5 stars and Satan 3 stars. Who wins?

What? Any overall good/great coach knows he needs good/great players. That's' what good/great coaches do... they go and get good/great players cause they know they can't do chit without them on most any level.

Coaching matters but players matters more. Coker showed y'all this in 2001. Coker was a good coach but not an overall good/great coach and it eventually showed.

You made my point

This is an interesting article that has the HS ratings of these top collegiate performers for the upcoming 2018 draft. One can click on the players name highlighted and see what his HS rating was.

This is more relevant from high school to college success. It appears that the most often "improperly graded" performers in HS are offensive then defensive linemen.[/QUOTE]

Big guys are hard to get a gauge on because they're still physically maturing at 18-19 years old. Some guys mature early and they dominate highschool because they're bigger and stronger than almost everybody else. Then in college, they don't look nearly as great once they're playing against guys their own size. Then you've got the guys who haven't grown into their bodies yet but after a few years in a college strength program, can dominate. Without looking at the numbers, I'd venture to say OL has the most 3* and lower players who eventually play in the pros.
