is that the most players from one university drafted in the first day,,,,,?

 

[CaneCounty]

all those Canes had pretty successful careers...

Has Carey made a pro bowl? If so, he's the only one among them who hasn't and he's still a pretty good player.

The most a university has put into the first round in one draft.

this is what we need to get back too. we haven't had a 1st rounder in a couple years right.

 

[Bigtip]

there are probably 10 pro bowls right there

Kenny Phillips was the last, snuck in as the 32nd pick to the G-Men after they beat the Pats the first time.

Until we start winning again I would hope we do not see any first rounders coming from the program. Make them earn it.

Someone started a thread of top 5 Canes in the last 5 years. That list made me sad to look at. Now looking at the players in just the 1st round of the 2004 NFL Draft. Awesome list of players
