Hey! I'm hoping to play football in college and fingers crossed, get drafted to the NFL after. Do you guys know which college has the most players drafted into the NFL?
Sure, the University of Southern California (USC) holds the record for the most players drafted to the NFL––with over 500 players having been selected since the NFL Draft started in 1936. Concretely, this doesn't mean you have a better chance of getting drafted into the NFL if you go to USC, though. Instead, focus on choosing a college that is a good fit for your interests and goals. When it comes to college football, look for a program where you can improve your skills, get playing time and visibility, and where coaches have a track record of developing players into professionals. Remember that academics are equally important - in case your goal of becoming an NFL player does not pan out, your academics can offer a solid plan B.
