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: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
