OK!We need to get back to producing NFL DE’s. We consistently had at least 3 starting DE’s in the NFL from Purdue.
Agree. And 3 starting seems low in the mid 00s heydays. Seems like Purdue had a DE getting drafted in top 2 rounds almost every year. We have 2 starters now in the NFL and haven't sent one in years.
We need to get back to sending O-Lineman to the NFL at a regular pace as well.
As far as I remember linemen, on both sides of the ball, were our best NFL players with only a handful of exceptions.
This would have been in the same backfield with Alstott . The other RB was a 700-1000 yard rusher as well. Alstott was the power back and the other RB was the faster traditional HB.Edwin Watson would have been a couple classes behind Alstott but around the same time. Drafted by the Packers in '98.
I think Brohm will get us there. We have Karlifitis would should be by the time he leaves Purdue. If we were to flip Herron, I think he would be too. Of course, I know Herron is a big if as far as a flip, but if he could flip Moore; I am hoping it happens again. We are starting to get that sort of talent again, as we are showing with three 4 Stars by June 1st already. Purdue football and football recruiting is getting fun again.We need to get back to producing NFL DE’s. We consistently had at least 3 starting DE’s in the NFL from Purdue.
You may be thinking of Corey Rogers.This would have been in the same backfield with Alstott . The other RB was a 700-1000 yard rusher as well. Alstott was the power back and the other RB was the faster traditional HB.
IU just got Beau Robbins from Carmel to commit. Didn't think we were in on him at all but that would have been a nice addition.

I think the Michigan DE commit from Kentucky is still potentially in play for Purdue.Nice pickup for them but we’ve got Karlaftis and have a good shot at JJ Weaver who is better than Robbins IMO.
Wasn't Alstott the #2 Option and the FB at Purdue? wasn't there another RB who was our featured RB at that time?
For a while there LB's as well:
2011 Ryan Kerrigan
2008 Stanford Keglar
2004 Gilbert Gardner
2004 Landon Johnson
2004 Niko Koutouvides
2003 Joe Odom
2002 Akin Ayodele
No, Brohm is committed to finding DEs that he knows will never be good enough to play on Sundays.We need to get back to producing NFL DE’s. We consistently had at least 3 starting DE’s in the NFL from Purdue.

yes. RB Corey Rogers. 1991, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Although Allstott's stats were better. Rogers put together a nice 4 year career.
Highly doubtfulI think the Michigan DE commit from Kentucky is still potentially in play for Purdue.
Not his last 3 yearsWasn't Alstott the #2 Option and the FB at Purdue? wasn't there another RB who was our featured RB at that time?
