There hasn’t been an academy graduate in the pros since Stauback. A few have been drafted but non made the grade. As has been pointed out, if a graduate of West Point(not Navy or AF) makes a pro team , he serves 2 years (probably as a recruiter) then he can play full time. West Point feels it’s a positive for recruitment to the academy. Go back to enjoying the game played by great Americans
