Hey guys, I'm a current high school junior, playing football and hoping to get into the NFL someday. As I look at my college options, I'm curious which college has had the most players drafted into the NFL.
Responding to your question, the University of Alabama has been a powerhouse for producing NFL talent, leading all schools in the number of players drafted into the NFL. From 2010 to 2020, the University of Alabama has had over 80 players drafted. This number also includes several first-round picks.
However, it's important to remember, getting into the NFL depends on a wide range of factors including individual skill, work ethic, development while in college, and even a bit of luck. Many players come from colleges that might not be considered 'football powerhouses' but still make a big impact on the NFL.
Additionally, keep in mind that a college's track record of getting players into the NFL doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best fit for every aspiring professional athlete. Other factors, such as academic programs, the college's location, size, and community, as well as the coaching style of the football program may also be important considerations for you.
