Hey y'all, I'm a junior looking to possibly continue my football career in college. I was curious, does anyone know which colleges have produced the most NFL draft picks over time? I think this might be a good indicator of a strong football program, plus it's kind of fun to think about potentially happening post-college.
The colleges with the most NFL draft picks historically are the University of Southern California (USC), the University of Notre Dame, and Ohio State University. Historically, these universities have consistently produced a high number of draft picks each year.
But, it's also worth mentioning that some colleges are becoming increasing powerhouses. In recent years, Alabama and Clemson have been heavily featured in the NFL draft, and you may want to look into them as well.
However, your choice of college shouldn't just be based on how many NFL players it produces. Football programs offer more than just a potential career in the NFL. They offer a chance to develop your skills, build relationships, and receive a quality education. Make sure to also consider the academic programs, campus culture, coaching staff, and facilities when making your college decision. Good luck with your journey!
