The NFL Playoffs are officially underway. While there may not be any SEC teams left in the College Football Playoff, there is plenty of representation in the NFL Playoffs.
The SEC has led all conferences in players drafted in the NFL Draft for 18 consecutive years. They’re also heavily represented on the NFL Pro Bowl Rosters. In fact, nearly half of the AFC starters come from the SEC, with 10 of the 22 overall.
With all those stats, it’s no wonder teams from the conference lead in former players in this year’s playoffs. Here’s a look at the teams with the most players in the playoffs, with SEC teams in bold (via CFB Home on Twitter).
