Last Chance U has become a national phenomenon among college football fans that avidly watch Neftlix. Season 2 continues the story of EMCC.

No TV show has had more of an impact on viewers in regards to the everyday lives of JUCO football players than Last Chance U. The second season of the famed Netflix show was just released this month and it seems just as entertaining as the first. There’s a focus on roughly a dozen of East Mississippi Community College’s players each season, in particularly. Head coach Buddy Stephens, offensive coordinator Marcus Wood, and academic advisor Brittany Wagner. Yet, according to the Detroit News, Wagner was recently hired by a Michigan high school, M.H. Madison, and Season Two will be the last time that Wagner sticks with the EMCC football players in Scooba.

Moreover, quite a few of the EMCC players that did not get that much of the spotlight during the Netflix season still go onto successful careers in division one even the NFL. Former EMCC Lions such as running back LeGarrette Blount and defensive lineman Jarran Reed were NFL draft selections. Quarterback Chad Kelly was recently added to that list.

Many season 1 players from Last Chance U went onto FBS and FCS programs in the spotlight. Quarterback John Franklin III had his chance at Auburn but did not make the most of it. Defensive lineman Ronald Ollie had a good season with Nicholls State but is looking to transfer to a bigger program with few offers. And running back D.J. Law went on to the UAB program, but he might not even play when the Blazers return to action.

Following some of the fan favorites through the end of their college careers can be one of the most entertaining things for fans outside of paying attention to their own teams. Now, let’s take a look at the eight Last Chance U Season Two players with the best chance to play in the NFL after their college careers come to a conclusion.
