An interesting take on which schools have had the most/best talent in terms of where they were drafted in the NFL draft.

Considering some of the teams that Miami and FSU have had, I think I can agree with the article.

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list...

This is a fairly high volume ping list

It would be interesting to see where all the players starting for every team came from and where the remaining roster players came from.

I was digging around the world of stats, trying to see if I could confirm a theory, that being to see if there was a stronger correlation between number of players drafted vs. number of players in the pros from a given school. In other words, do some schools draft well, but the players do not stick.

Unfortunately, not all schools list their ex players in the NFL. Two that did:

USC currently has 30 (out of 40?) players on NFL rosters.

Florida State currently has 42 (out of 62) players on NFL rosters

Not enough info to draw any conclusions though. Also without rally digging, you cannot say that the numbers for those teams correlate to the numbers in the original stats. Some players listed my have been drafted more then 10 years ago for example.

Not a lot of Longhorns on that list but they made a big impact in the NFL this season. ( Vasher, Hampton, Tubbs, R. Williams)

The above stats are why FSU, despite coaching problems and several seasons of mediocre results, will not have problems recruiting any time soon. It has been, and will continue to be a farming system for the NFL. And young high school kids looking at schools will remember this.
