Vince Young, Michael Griffin, Michael Huff, Derrick Johnson, Cedric Griffin, Colt McCoy, Jamaal Charles, etc.
Doesn't impress me all to much cept for a couple names. How many hall of famers does Texas have? I believe 1 or 2, correct me if I'm wrong.

How could you forget Orakpo?!?!

Anywho...Also:

Jermichael Finley, Aaron Ross, Earl Thomas, Leonard Davis, Casey Hampton, Ricky Williams, Shaun Rodgers, Quentin Jammer and Nate Vasher.

I'm sure Michigan could easily be ahead of Texas...I just thought I'd throw their name out there.

This list is about past too. Michigan has just produced better imo.

Le Sigh. I miss the old days of Maize and Blue football. Watching old 1999 highlights, and watching Dhani Jones, Cato June, Anthony Thomas, Ian Gold, Tom Brady, David Terrell, Steve Hutchinson, and Jeff Backus just makes me think. Damn this place really produced some talent.

People forget about Ian Gold. The man was no joke in the NFL. He had a couple good years with Denver.

in search of an actual answer rather than just opinion I found the ability fo find the answer kinda hard and very few sites agree.

In an attempt to not have to single handedly count every single college I'll just post the numbers found for 2008

2008:
CBS Sportsline Alumni Tracker
Miami - 55
Georgia - 54
LSU - 50
Michigan - 50
Ohio State - 47
Florida - 43
USC - 42
FSU - 42

Per Espn -
Miami - 45
Georgia- 40 LSU- 40
FSU- 39 Michigan- 39
Ohio St-37 Tenn- 37
Texas - 35
USC - 33
Notre Dame - 32
Auburn, Cal, Florida, VT - 31



Then for All Time:

Notre Dame 462
USC 461
Ohio State 390
Oklahoma 339
Michigan 332
Nebraska 331
Tennessee 321
Penn State 317
Texas 316
Miami (FL) 294
Florida 289


I'm fairly confident to say that USC has probably since surpassed Notre Dame. Rest probably remains close to the same.

I don't really think that counting the number of players they've sent to the NFL is the best way to go about it. I think the success of the players needs to be taken into account more than the number of them.
