I was talking with a friend, and I mentioned how good the 2015 Ohio State team was. That got me thinking about how many NFL players were on that team. Looking at only the starters, here are players who played on an NFL for at least one season / were drafted to an NFL / are projected to be drafted.
| LT | TAYLOR DECKER | DE | TYQUAN LEWIS |
| LG | BILLY PRICE | DT | ADOLPHUS WASHINGTON |
| C | JACOBY BOREN | DT | TOMMY SCHUTT |
| RG | PAT ELFLEIN | DE | JOEY BOSA |
| RT | CHASE FARRIS | SLB | DARRON LEE |
| TE | NICK VANNETT | MLB | RAEKWON McMILLIAN |
| WR | MICHAEL THOMAS | WLB | JOSHUA PERRY |
| QB | CARDALE JONES | CB | ELI APPLE |
| RB | EZEKIEL ELLIOTT | SAF | TYVIS POWELL |
| H-B | BRAXTON MILLER | SAF | VONN BELL |
| WR | CURTIS SAMUEL | CB | GAREON CONLEY |
| WR | JALIN MARSHALL |
Bold: Made NFL roster one season / drafted and currently on NFL roster
Italics: Projected NFL pick 2018
In the end, 21 / 23 starters (offense has '12 starters') will have played on an NFL roster for at least one season. Talk about marketing content for recruiting!
Can anyone think of any team all time that can top that?
