Boston College's success at the NFL level, beyond its vaunted offensive line prospects, burst onto the national scene over the past decade. The Eagles, once derided for the lower profiles of their recruits, churned out professional prospects with upside value for championship rosters. Pleasant surprises dotted Sundays, and the development status stamp of the entire BC program reached every level from on-field position coaches to strength and conditioning to sports nutritionists.
The reputation poured a foundation for coaches, scouts and analysts alike, and this week, the next crop of BC hopefuls will heighten their anticipation for the next round of the NFL Draft.
