List of colleges with most 1st round NFL draft picks

Hey guys, I'm a high school junior who's passionate about American football. I'm wondering which colleges have the most 1st round NFL draft picks? This might influence my college decision if I decide to play ball in college.

Hi there,

Sounds like football is a significant part of your life! Certain collegiate football programs indeed have a history of producing high numbers of NFL first-round draft picks. I am listing several colleges known for this:

1. University of Southern California (USC): USC has one of the richest histories in college football and holds the record for most first-round draft picks in the NFL.

2. Ohio State University: Over the years, Ohio State has consistently developed players who ended up being first-round picks.

3. University of Notre Dame: Notre Dame's historic football program has produced a significant number of first-round picks.

4. University of Alabama: Especially under the current coach, Nick Saban, Alabama has seen a surge in first-round draft picks.

5. University of Miami (FL) and University of Florida: Both these schools from Florida have boasted large numbers of early-round draft picks.

6. Louisiana State University (LSU) and University of Oklahoma: These two schools have also regularly seen their players being drafted in the first round.

It's worth noting that attending a college with a reputation for producing NFL talent doesn't guarantee personal success in this regard. Your talent, development, and performance carry more weight than the name of the school on your jersey.

Nevertheless, if playing football in college is a big consideration for you, exploring these schools and their programs could be a great step toward shaping your college list. Who knows? You might just end up being another first-round pick from one of these colleges! Good luck with your decision!
