Several people asked whether there is a statistical analysis to show which school’s players overperform their draft slots.
ESPN did it already, over fifteen years of data and thousands of picks. And it confirmed exactly what I’ve said: Miami players outperform their spots more than any team in the country, by a mile.
We compared each school’s weighted draft value and their overall performance in the NFL since 2002 to figure out which school’s produced the biggest NFL overperformers and underperformers. No school overperforms like Miami.
College football's best (and worst) NFL factories
Ever wonder which college programs produce the best NFL running backs? How about the most long-term starters or the most Pro Bowlers? We dug through data from the past 15 drafts to find out which schools make the grade at the next level.www.espn.com

The question being asked is why are they drafted so low?
1) Bias analysis by scouts
2) Poor coaching at UM allowed their upside to be higher after college
In either case, there is plenty of analysis that shows that NFL scouts did a really good job at drafting players. The question is not are their outliers but why are there so many from UM?
