FSU football has several players who’ll be drafted in 2021. One website says they have four of the top 75 players.

Jimbo Fisher didn’t leave FSU football a lot in the stables in terms of the offensive line or quarterback depth.

However, his final recruiting class in 2017 did bring in some high-end talent that’s poised to make more of a name for themselves in the 2020 season.

Of course, Cam Akers, who was selected in the second round by the Los Angeles Rams a few weeks ago, was a part of the 2017 class.

According to TheDraftNetwork, the Noles have four of the top 75 players in next year’s 2021 NFL Draft.

Three of those players come from the 2017 recruiting class with Jimbo Fisher. The other player committed to Jimbo Fisher before Fisher left and Willie Taggart was able to stave off other schools to get him to sign as part of the 2018 recruiting class.

I wrote a couple of weeks ago how the Noles could have a big rebound with at least six players drafted in 2021.

Let’s take a look at the four players highlighted by this draft site.
