'Canes in the NFL

Miami is number one in the first round since 1987... The 'Canes have produced more NFL first-round draft picks than any other college. In 2002, UM had five players (Bryant McKinnie, Jeremy Shockey, Phillip Buchanon, Edward Reed, and Mike Rumph) drafted in the first round. Miami had four first round picks in 2001, and three first round picks in 1987 and 1991. In 1991, UM defensive lineman Russell Maryland was the No. 1 overall pick. In 1987, UM quarterback Vinny Testaverde was the No. 1 pick in the draft.

During the last 16 years, National Football League teams have turned to the University of Miami more than any other college or university when it comes to premium picks in the annual draft. Since 1987 the University of Miami has produced an amazing 56 players selected in the first three rounds.
