TCU a NFL Factory?

ESPN.com had a blog posting last week about TCU and their success of sending players to the NFL. The Frogs have been sending more and more players to the next level, so has TCU become a NFL factory?

ESPN.com

TCU had five players drafted last week for the second time in three seasons. The Horned Frogs have developed into a veritable football factory.

Consider:

TCU had the most picks of any school in the state of Texas for the second time in three years, while its five draft picks tied for ninth among all schools.

The Horned Frogs were one of just 13 teams to have at least five players drafted.

TCU has had at least one player drafted in 10 of the past 11 seasons.

In 10 seasons, coach Gary Patterson has had 29 players drafted.


Although TCU is sending more and more players to the league, which is a good thing, I would like to see more success from Frog players in the NFL. We all know about L.T. and the Schobel’s, but others like Jason Phillips and Jerry Hughes have yet to find their groove in the NFL. I’m not saying they won’t, because both players are still young, they just haven’t performed as well as I thought they would. Others like Hawthorne and Washington are off to great starts. Hopefully this year’s class of Dalton, Kerley, Cannon and the others will have successful NFL careers.
