Odom's first class to hit the NFL draft is pretty amazing.

Five literal Mizzou players went in the 2021 NFL draft.

So I just checked if there were any other not drafted players on NFL teams from his first Mizzou 2016 recruiting class. There are more...
Damarea Crockett is a Denver Bronco
Tre'Vour Wallace-Sims is a Jacksonville Jaguar
Trystan Colon-Castillo is a Baltimore Raven
DeMarkus Acy is a Pittsburgh Steeler

So Odom puts 9 players in the NFL from his first "2016 recruiting class" (in quotes) - senior & redshirt seniors in total. None are 4 star players, all are 3's.

The 2016 class that the state of Missouri had that year just looks pathetic. https://247sports.com/Season/2016-Football/CompositeRecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=Highschool&State=MO

I'm amazed. Odom may have even put together the largest group of players Mizzou has ever placed in the NFL in school history - despite being under the unprecedented circumstances of it all.

I really did not expect that.
