It's amazing that Wisconsin can put some quality players in the NFL, yet feels success if they have a top 50 recruiting class. Brand really does matter.

As for Miami, first and foremost, I think those of us who saw both "The U" and "The U Part II" saw most of those guys interviewed for both programs that are counted above. For sheer volume of NFL talent, among other things, that would count as one hell of a run. 

CBS had a graphic about a week ago that I thought was interesting - LINK. This shows you the schools which produced the most players to appear in Super Bowls, but it compares Super Bowls I to X and then XLI to tomorrow's game. The shift is definitely interesting.

Heuerman was injured before the season started and placed on IR. It says Denver picked up Posey in January for reserve/future contract. I would guess numbers are only based on active roster, which would make sense since neither of them played a down for Denver, or even contributed in practice. Buckeye fans will count them to boost their number up though...

At the very least, I thought Jeff Heuerman should be included because he has been participating in playoff practices. Not full-contact, but he's been catching passes on drills and things. 

DeVier Posey though is fair not to include, I just recently found out that the Broncos even had him haha.

Even without Heuerman or Posey though, Ohio State is still sending 5 players to Super Bowl 50, which still leads all colleges.

Interesting post M and M. Is anyone else wondering how Penn St has been so mediocre with so much talent over the past 10 years? I didn't know they had that many players in the NFL. Michigan has been mediocre to sucky, but we haven't been pumping a ton of players in the NFL like other programs over the past 10 years, so it made more sense.

Traps "active roster players" on their report....numbers would change if they included players who were on release lists, injured reserve or futures .......so....no Heuerman, Posey .....or Boren..

Here's some trivia for you:

Jim Harbaugh was on which SB team's roster in 2001?

The Carolina Panthers!

Harbaugh's last season in the NFL, he was the back-up QB for the Panthers. He did not have any pass attempts, but he was active.
