For the second straight year a Big Ten school has the most players drafted

Each year the most talked about players heading into the NFL Draft are out of Alabama, LSU, Florida State, and other major programs.

But for two straight years, none of those teams has seen the most players become drafted in the seven rounds of the NFL Draft.

Last year the Ohio State Buckeyes were the obvious pick to have the most picks. Joey Bosa, Ezekiel Elliott, and Cardale Jones were a part of that near-record breaking Buckeyes class.

This year Michigan came out on top, edging the Tide and Miami for the most players drafted.

Jabrill Peppers, Jehu Chesson, Amara Darboh, and Jourdan Lewis were just 4 of the 11 Wolverines picked in this years NFL Draft.

Here’s the complete list of schools with five or more players drafted this year into the NFL:
