This is an interesting question.
On offense, we do it with the OL and QB. Those positions we recruit as well as any top 25/30 program. When we get a highly recruited WR like Collie or Jacobsen it's very noticeable.
On defense, it appears that we definitely get more out of the players than the stars would suggest. But if you look at our highly recruited D players, they do stand out. Manaia Brown was the most highly recruited D-linemen the past several years and he clearly stood out, though he was injured a lot. Nixon and Cam Jensen were probably the most highly recruited LB's the last several years, and outside of Kehl, they were the two best.
How many of our walk-on/one star/two star guys make it to the NFL compared to our three star and above guys? It would be a good study.
