Top 10 NFL factories by NFL Network

[Nuclear Bear]

Hopefully this will be one of the last "off season" threads. Im not sure I completley agree with their list, but the NFL network show makes some interesting points.

Im calling BS on no BIGXII schools in the top 10.

10. Tennesee
9. Mid American Conference
8. Syracuse
7. Penn St
6. Alabama
5. Michigan
4. Ohio St
3. Notre Dame
2. Miami
1. USC

Syracuse, Mid American, and Tennessee. No Chance. Someone look up the numbers.

Over what time frame?

Well, if they're going to include the MAC as a single entry, then why not the Big 12 if we have no teams on the list?

I seem to remember some running back that went to Syracuse. He was pretty good.

Oh yeah, Jim Brown.

 

[kujotx]

Shoot: why not include Carlisle and Univ. of Illinois?

You'd think those yahoos never heard of the likes of Layne, Nobis, Campbell, et al....

[majorwhiteapples]

How about players that played 3 or more seasons in the NFL, that takes out Penn State, Ohio State and a few others on that list!!! It shakes it up a ton, when I was a kid back in the early -mid-eighties, far and away, then current players, USC was one, ND was two and Arizona State was three!!!!

 

[GHoward]

Phil Dawson and that dude that deeps snaps for the vikings.

 

[Squall]

geez, for what time frame? the 2009 NFL Draft will be the first time Bama has had a first round pick since the 2000 draft with Chris Samuels and Shaun Alexander. [Andre Smith - JR]

 

[TexasGarcia36]

THE SIMPLE FACT THAT TEXAS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE ONLY SCHOOL TO HAVE A PLAYER TAKEN IN THE DRAFT EVERY YEAR SINCE IT STARTED SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO GET THEM ON THE LIST. PERIOD!

Now I feel better.
