224 players are drafted by NFL teams every year. If every there are 32 5 stars signed every year and 5 star senior and junior got drafted based on your numbers, the max would be 64. That leaves 160 4 and 3 stars if my math is correct. Stars matter to the best programs in college football because the best programs always get 90% of them. 4 stars is what teams 12-30 build their programs on. And historically, meaning the past 25 years, State has averaged in top 35 with several 3 stars. Imagine if State could sign 12 4 stars each year.
