Once Again Canes #1 in NFL Draft Picks

April 30, 2011

Bailey was taken by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The best nicknames come out of respect and stick because of a level of talent and/or accomplishment. That’s the case with the Miami football program being dubbed “NFLU”.

The Canes are so prolific in the pros that they have a full time blogger dedicated to their success at proCanes.com.

Over the last 30 years, few programs can rival the success Miami players have had in the NFL Draft and no program can claim the number of NFL stars that came from the Coral Gables campus.

The tradition continued through the first three rounds of this year’s NFL Draft. Miami and LSU led all schools with five picks after the first two days of the draft. UM also leads all ACC schools with five draftees, while UNC is second with four selections and Clemson has three.

As the numbers below show, no other program boasts 20-plus NFL Draft first round picks since 2000. And UM has 26… next closest is Ohio State with 17 (third table below). The Canes come in second in total draft picks since 2000 with 72 (four table below).
