In the NFL however, a lot of a players potential is unlocked when playing college football. To enter the NFL Draft, a player must have 3 years in college completed. Also some players may complete their senior year if they feel they are not ready, or more often if they think they can win a National Championship (the Superbowl of college football) or the Heismann Trophy (highest award for college players).
For the 2011 season the team with the most alumni in the NFL is the University of Miami (UM) with 42 players. Surprisingly there is no current quarterback from UM in the NFL. The rest of the list shows a start-studded cast in each position. Some of the standout players are Frank Gore (Running Back), Devin Hester (Wide Receiver) and Jeremy Shockey (Tight End).
