CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The 2010 Miami Hurricanes have six NFL prospects rated among the top 150 in college football by Todd McShay (Scouts Inc.) on ESPN.com.

Unfortunately, the article requires a premium subscription but we can tell you that Allen Bailey (pictured above) tops the list and he is followed in order by Orlando Franklin, Brandon Harris, Graig Cooper, Colin McCarthy and Leonard Hankerson.

ESPN.com also has ratings for Matt Bosher and Demarcus Van Dyke, who didn’t make the top 150 cut. 

Few programs have dominated the NFL Draft like the University of Miami. 

Former Hurricanes have been drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft (or equivalent professional draft) 59 times dating back to 1952, when Jim Dooley was taken by the Chicago Bears.  For 14 straight years, from 1995 to 2008, a ‘Canes player was taken in the first round.

At the start of training camps there were 51 former UM players with NFL teams.
