The streak continues!

Ja’Whaun Bentley just got picked by New England. Congrats!

But why, oh why, did it have to be the evil patriots

 

[RDUBoiler]

Whatever else we might think about Belichick, he has quite a history of developing Purdue DEs/LBs into quality NFL players. Looks like a good opportunity for him, too. The Pats' D had some big holes last year.

The Patriots has been a popular NFL designation for Purdue players over the last few years

 

[Tommaker]

I'm anticipating there being a lot more in the future. Partly due to increased talent acquisition, but even more based on player development. After the last regime, I had major concerns the streak would stay alive.

New England just selected Danny Etling in the seventh round. Of course, he finished at LSU, but still keeping that Purdue connection.

Leaving Purdue is why he was drafted today.

He earned that, got into a bad situation at Purdue but kept his focus on his goals. Good for him and good for us... things worked out for both. Who knows if Danny would have stayed with us if Hazell would have had a just get enough year the next year that he doesn’t get fired and then we never get Jeff Brohm

No Hazel and Olson staying at Purdue was why he was drafted in the 7th Round!

What?

Had he stayed at Purdue under the Stooges he'd likely have been undrafted.

Olsen left around 2000, Etling was maybe three or four years old then?

If Danny has stayed, he wouldn’t have saved hazell. He was shell shocked from getting the hell beat out of him and that wasn’t going to change

Hazell/Shoop's system was so convoluted, I do wonder how he would have done with the current regime. Would have needed a redshirt, but I digress. I am happy today... Why am I even thinking about the Darrel Hazell Era?

That’s what I implied that they hurt him more than helped him! Who knows how high he could have been drafted if he received some coaching at Purdue!
