More reasons why recruits who aspire to play in the NFL should think seriously about playing for the University of Miami. We had the most players selected in this NFL draft from our conference. Also, we had 1 fewer than Bama and 1 more than LSU. Carter, Grace, Lewis, Vogel, and Dobard have signed as undrafted free agents. We sent 14 players to the NFL - 14!
Apparently, UGA had one player drafted: Isaiah McKenzie, who is of course from Miami, FL. The University of Texas also had only one player drafted. How does that happen? The NFL.com website only listed the single player taken from Texas as having a draft eligible grade. Whoa. I know Colbert is grateful to be a Cane. Temple and Houston each had more players taken than either UGA or Texas.
There is an article over on ESPN, I believe, asking who will be the next Ben Boulware and suggesting that Shaq may well be. Well, Ben Boulware didn't get drafted. Does anyone have any doubt that Shaq will get drafted? In fact, all three of our starting LBs from this past season will get drafted.
Here are how some big named programs did in the draft. Again, I wish more of our guys were drafted higher, but truthfully at the end of your college career what you want is an opportunity to play in the NFL. Only a few schools sent more young men to the NFL draft than us, and we will undoubtedly have more guys drafted higher going forward. I hope recruits are paying attention.
UGA=1
Texas=1
Temple=3
Houston=3
FSU=4
Washington=5
USC=5
Clemson=6
Tennessee=6
Ohio State=7
UF=8
LSU=8
University of Miami=9 (plus 6 undrafted free agents)
