2001 Miami roster was batshit crazy. 6 All-Americans. They had a Maxwell trophy winner (Dorsey) and an Outland Trophy winner (McKinnie).

But get this, they had 17 first round draft picks off that team. Not 17 total NFL players, but 17 FIRST ROUNDERS. Most championship caliber teams would be lucky to have 17 total NFL players even at lower rounds.

They had 38 total NFL players drafted from the team. THIRTY-EIGHT.

Bammer has crazy professional talent on Saban's squads (the best paid squad in the country), but has any of his teams put out anywhere close to 38 NFL players? Maybe he has been close, I don't know.

They were badass no doubt about it. Hate these comparison arguments for the most part but I love this team we have.

They should have 4 or 5 first rounders this year. I imagine when we look back this team will have an insane amount of guys drafted. That being said some of those 38 guys were underclassmen or not contributors yet so the total might not be as important as the positions of the starters and major contributors in that specific year.
