The ACC In the NFL (With Charts!)

Which ACC schools are leading the way in NFL player development...
The ACC leader in NFL player development should surprise no one. Miami leads the way by a large margin. The teams of the early 2000s were littered with NFL talent. The surprising thing to some would be where Virginia Tech sits. The Hokies have less alumni in the NFL than Maryland, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Virginia (tied with BC).


The position distribution which with the ACC provides the NFL
Penn State may be called Linebacker U, but its the ACC that churns out Linebacker after Linebacker. The ACC leads the way as the conference with the most Linebackers in the NFL and it isn't that close. The ACC has provided the NFL 50 linebackers. The Big Ten is second with 41.


Team by Team NFL Distribution...
Oddly enough the AFC and NFC West have the least amount of ACC players on their rosters. West Coast bias? Perhaps the reason their divisions suck?


School by School, Position by Position...
Here's the rap up of each ACC school and what the provided the NFL on a position by position basis. UNC and FSU lead the way with two Kickers... Woo!


And finally the a list of the ACC Players in the NFL...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
