Even though it was an unusual first-round of the 2020 NFL Draft, LSU still managed to set a new school-record with five first round selections.
The five first round picks were the most of any school in college football this year and just one shy of tying the all-time mark of six set by Miami 2004. LSU joins Ohio State in 2016 and 2006, Miami in 2002 and Southern Cal in 1968 as the only schools in college football history to have five players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Quarterback Joe Burrow was joined in the first round by linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson (No. 20 overall by the Jaguars), wide receiver Justin Jefferson (No. 22 overall by the Vikings), linebacker Patrick Queen (No. 28 overall by the Ravens) and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (No. 32 overall by the Chiefs).
