Who are Position U's over past decade?

[WizardHawk]

huh i always kind of thought it had to do with productive college players while in college.

I've never heard it used that way at all. I have only ever heard it used to talk about who is churning out kids from a position group to the league.

 

[amszete]

Quarterback U - NC State
Running Back U - Oklahoma
Wide Reciever U - Clemson
Tight End U - Miami
Offensive Line U - Wisconsin

Defensive Line U - Bama
Linebacker U - Bama
Defensive Back U - FSU/OSU

Kicker U - FSU
Punter U -
Returner U -

 

[The Derski]

All I know is Ohio St. is black QB U.

 

[iowajerms]

QB U - Oklahoma
RB U - San Diego State
WR U - Clemson
TE U - Iowa
OL U - Wisconsin

DL U - Florida State
LB U - USC?
DB U - LSU always seem to have tough DBs

 

[Cowboyinexile]

So is this just college or the NFL as well?

Because for WR, Oklahoma State has:

Dez Bryant
Justin Blackmon
James Washington

That is 3 Biletnikoff's and possibly a 4th if the NCAA hadn't ended Dez's jr year early. Plus you have Brandon Pettigrew who as a tight end was a first round pick.

This year our no. 2 guy (Ateman) was a beast. He went late to the Raiders but had a 3rd round grade. Plus we are so stacked at the position we have day 1 or 2 guys the next 3 years.

At the end of last year Iowa had 10 OL playing in the NFL. Not sure anyone else has more than that. Maybe Wisconsin .

 

[Across The Field]

Dunno bout the last 10 years but WVU has had some really good ones the last...6-7 or so years.

Tavon Austin should have prob won the Heisman when Manziel did.

Stedman Bailey
Kevin White
David Sills
Mario Alford
Daikiel Shorts
Shelton Gibson

Solid case for WRU iyam.

USC,Clemson, Alabama has had some fine ones as well.

LOL not even remotely close to WRU. They're not even top 10. I wouldn't call OSU WRU, but they're lightyears ahead of WVU:

Mike Thomas
Ted Ginn
Curtis Samuel
Terrelle Pryor
Braxton Miller
Jalin Marshall
Noah Brown

I think it's safe to call Ohio State ........WR who used to be a QB U.

USC has 7 WRs in the NFL this season

 

[Across The Field]

No

You've got literally no argument here to be made, you know that right? Not a single WVU WR is doing anything in the pros.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

What's so funny @Across The Field ?

 

[Cowboyinexile]

Hence the question. NFL production I don't have an argument.

College though if you put Washington, Bryant, Blackmon, Lee, and Jarrett together Lee and Jarrett may be 4 and 5 in that group.

Fun topic

 

[Across The Field]

What's so funny @Across The Field ?

The fact that you think you have an argument for DBU.

They can be in the conversation IMO. They've had 12 guys drafted in this time frame. I think that's the same as Ohio State .

That just means they've done a decent job. This is a zero sum contest, it's not about talking about some schools that do a decent job of it. Who's the best Clemson DB, Byron Maxwell? Weak.

I was under the impression that this was about getting guys to the league? Maybe I misunderstood the OP. Also having a dozen guys drafted is more than decent. That's probably top 3 if I had to guess.

If you're going to be the "U" of a position, it's a quality measure. Not a single Clemson player is a star, or even great player. OSU, FSU, and LSU - at least - stand above them by a pretty strong measure.

Imo it’s about getting players in the league and getting them drafted highly. It’s about getting players paid. What happens after they get to the NFL has a lot of other variables.
