BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU's storybook season officially came to a close with a national title in January, but 14 of those players topped that accomplishment off by being selected in the NFL Draft that concluded Saturday, that ties a record set by Ohio State in 2004.
The Tigers had five players go in the first round, including bookends Joe Burrow (1st overall) and Clyde Edwards-Hilaire (32nd overall, last in the first round).
Ten Tigers were selected in the first three rounds - rounds where players are generally expected to make the team and contribute - or more - in their first season.
