Pitt Panthers with current players in the NFL. We recruit about the same or perhaps slightly better. Yet, they get better results in terms of production. WVU has been the better program since 2000. Since Dana took over, we have had the better offense. I just don't get why we don't have players perform to a high level. This opinion has some bubble view perspective as I am looking at it with a fantasy football perspective. It's sorta what lead to this question and will we have any player that produces to what they have shown in success.

Tyler Boyd
James Connor
Larry Fitzgerald
Lesean McCoy
Dion Lewis
Nathan Peterman (backup QB)
Tom Savage (backup QB)

Kevin White (bust)
Charles Sims (backup RB........editing.......is he in the NFL anymore???)
Wendell Smallwood (Doing okay given he isn't the ideal every down RB. He is averaging 4.3 YPC. When you look game by game stats, he touches the ball about 7-8 times a game)
Tavon Austin (Makes one big play and then is typically an after thought. For the season, he has 7 receptions and 6 rushes in 6 games.)
Geno Smith (backup QB)

Currently, Pitt has 17 players in the NFL vs WVU with 14 players.
