Congrats to Jordan Elliott earning a place on college football's All America defensive team (DL).
He is another star graduate of Mizzou's fabled D Line U or D Line Zou. Does anyone of a comprehesive list of this impressive group that Mizzou has coached and developed? Here's a rough start:
'19 - Terry Beckner, Jr - Falcons (5 Star recruit?; )
'17 - Charles Harris - Dophins (1st Round Pick)
'16 - Kentrell Brothers - Vikings
'15 - Shane Ray - Broncos (1st Round Pick) and (SEC Defensive Player of the Year)
'15 - Markus Golden - Cardinals (2nd Round Pick)
'14 - Kony Ealy - Panthers (2nd Round Pick)
'14 - Michael Sam - Rams (SEC Defensive Player of the Year)
'13 - Sheldon Richardson - Jets (HS All America; 1st Rund NFL pick)
'13 - Zavier Gooden - Titans
'11 - Aldon Smith - 49ers (1st Round Pick)
'11 - Ander Gachkar - Chargers
'10 - Sean Weatherspoon - Falcons (1st Round Pick)
'09 - Ziggy Hood - Steelers (1st Round Pick)
'09 - Styker Sulak - Raiders
'07 - Brian Smith - Jaguars
'05 - Atiyyah Ellison - Panthers
'05 - CJ Mosley - Vikings
'03 - Keith Wright - Texans
'01 - Justin Smith - Bengals (1st Round Pick; 5 time Pro Bowler)
'00 - Jeff Marriott - Patriots
These great college players were fun to watch but proved that Mizzou does know how to attract, coach and place players in the NFL. This list of course doesn't include other NFL draftees like Jeremy Maclin (1st Round); Blaine Gabbert (1st Round) Drew Lock, 3 tight ends, e current starting centers in the NFL, etc. Impressive list indeed!
Who will be the next great Mizzou D Line stars? Let's hope recruits are seeing this kind of success.
