I'm hoping to play football in college and eventually make it to the NFL. So I'm curious, which college football program has historically produced the most NFL players?
The college football program that has produced the most drafted NFL players traditionally is the University of Notre Dame. To date, they've had over 500 players drafted into the NFL. However, they are followed closely by other notable programs such as the University of Southern California, Ohio State University, and the University of Michigan. Just remember that while the historical record is interesting, your decision should also depend on the current coaching staff, the team playstyle, the type of offense or defense they run, and whether you feel you would thrive in that environment.
