In 2014 three players who had passed through Snoop Dogg's Youth Football League (SYFL) signed on with NFL teams, and as impressive as that number is, if last week's national signing day was any indication, we're likely to see many more SYFL alum playing on Sundays.

TMZ is reporting that 20 players who played in the SYFL have signed on to play for a Division I program.

Most notably is the rapper's son, Cordell Broadus, a 6-foot-3 wide receiver from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. Broadus got his start playing football in his father's league and was coached by Snoop from ages 8 to 13.

USC commit Iman Marshall, the top rated cornerback in the class, is also a SYFL alum.


congrats to our SYFL Alum !!

The league started in 2005 and has ballooned to a reported size of 1,700 players.

"I’m extremely proud to have coached and mentored these young men," SYFL commissioner Haamid Wadood told TMZ. "I speak on behalf of Snoop and my entire SYFL staff and all the coaches and volunteers. We just want to thank the parents for trusting in us and believing in us in building a foundation for these kids in giving them the opportunity for helping them achieve their goals on becoming a great player and teammates."

Ronnie Hillman (2012 Denver Broncos) and De'Anthony Thomas (2014 Kansas City Chiefs) were the first SYFL alum to get drafted. Last year two other players, Kam Jackson (Indianapolis Colts) and Greg Ducre (San Diego Chargers) also signed on with NFL teams.

"Our kids, they go hard," Snoop told TMZ last year. “They know what they want in life. When they get to the position where they can go to the level they try their best. They really put in the work to get to the next level. I expect many more to follow that. In the next 10 years, I see 50 kids from SYFL play in the NFL."

At this rate, that just might happen.
