There were others that were cut last week. Toeaina iand Kevin Simon are two that come to mind immediately, but I think there may have been one other one.

CJ Fayton, Tony Brown... those were cuts to take rosters down to 75 players a few days ago. There are other threads that mention these players.

does anyone have a link to most college players in the nfl from one team? i have an ongoing argument about who has the most active players in the NFL. he says Miami.

 

[tclowers23]

I think it's Notre Dame but I'm having trouble finding a good source.

This is accurate from 1998-2002.

I think it is Miami

 

[doozer]

i would go with Miami too.

 

[shortfatperson]

I think it might be Florida State. dont ask me why just a gut feeling

"The Miami Hurricanes had the most players on NFL Kickoff 2004 rosters, leading the way with 43. Florida and Notre Dame tied for the most players in 2004 with 40 each."

2004 it is now 2006. Miami has the most now I am almost positive.

 

[tclowers23]

Yeah, I realize it's now 2006... but thanks for pointing that out. Unless you can find a more up-to-date source, or any source at all for that matter, you don't have much room to criticize.

For anyone that cares, Gerald Riggs did sign on with the Dolphins practice squad. Go to the Dolphins official site... it's up-to-date.

Florida State has the most effective if that means anything

 

[tclowers23]

That doesn't say who has the most NFL players... it says who has the "most effective" NFL players. The figured it up with some success rate of players formula. The Dow Jones College Football Success Index is what that article is base on.

Good job on the edit... for the record, it used to say "I was right, it's Florida State."
