Infographic: SEC players dominate NFL rosters

If you want to play in the NFL, you should probably head to an SEC school. Then again, if you're playing for an SEC school, you're probably there for that reason. But when you look at a position by position breakdown of NFL Week 1 rosters, SEC schools dominate.

Nine positions are powered by SEC players. Let me clarify. If you canvas the NFL defensive end position from Week 1, Georgia had the most players on NFL rosters with seven. Florida was tied with Miami for the most wide receivers, Tennessee is Guard University and if you're a defensive back there's a good chance you went to LSU or Alabama.

All in all, according to the NFL, 247 colleges were represented on NFL Week 1 rosters, and these were the 12 schools powering the bulk of talent:

1. LSU: 38 players


2. USC: 37


3. Alabama: 36


4. Georgia: 34


5. Florida: 33


6. Florida State: 33


7. Miami: 31


8. California: 29


9. Ohio State : 29


10. Notre Dame: 28


11. Tennessee: 28


12. Wisconsin: 27

I'm probably most surprised by Cal's standing in this exercise, but they have been a pipeline of offensive talent throughout the Jeff Tedford era.

Report: Titans will start QB Charlie Whitehurst; TE Delanie Walker expected to play



Jake Locker's injured wrist won't allow him to start versus the Colts, so the Titans are turning to Charlie Whitehurst to make his first start since 2011. According to numerous reports, Whitehurst will start in place of Locker and should have tight end Delanie Walker available to him. Walker was limited throughout the practice week because of a shoulder injury.



Charlie Whitehurst, Clipboard Jesus, Checkdown Charlie -- whatever you want to call him, this is not a good development for the Titans' chances today. Whitehurst is a distinctly poor quarterback with a 3:5 touchdown-to-turnover ratio in four career starts. He has a 54.2 career completion percentage. This does upgrade how I view the Colts' defense in fantasy today.However, his tendency to keep passes short could mean active days are ahead for Walker and wide receiver Kendall Wright. The Titans will surely try to run the ball as often as possible, but at some point, Andrew Luck is going to force them to throw the ball. And those two targets should be Whitehurst's lead options. Walker is a low-end TE1 while Wright remains a strong WR3 in PPR leagues.The Titans think Locker's wrist injury is of the short-term variety. They hope to have him back for Week 5 against the Browns.
