WVU vs Pitt and VT - Players drafted in NFL since 2010

[GetYaNumbersUp]

WVU - 22
Pitt - 12
VT - 20

I found this interesting, particularly since Pitt is generally thought of as a school that recruits well and puts players into the league.

Thoughts?

an excerpt for the article - " West Virginia is not being subtle with this point.....a collection of first-round pick totals in the last five NFL drafts by West Virginia and its most immediate geographic competition in the Power 5 conferences : Penn State, Virginia Tech, Pitt, and Maryland. It's hard to argue with the totals; West Virginia has indeed, placed more first-rounders in the draft since 2012 than all of those other schools combined. It's not a bad pitch when recruiting elite high schoolers."

Thank you for the Article on ACC Expansion. The ACC should have merged with Big east FB in 2003. I always thought WVU, Rutgers should have came in too. Hope it happens some day and Pitt-WVU should play every year. Here is a recent Articie on NFL Draft Players right now in the NFL.

TOP TEN PRODUCE ALL-PROS:
Pittsburgh
The Panthers boast five All-Pros out of 38 selections during this time frame: Larry Fitzgerald, Darrelle Revis, LeSean McCoy, Aaron Donald and Andy Lee. McCoy and Lee weren't even first-rounders! Incredibly, nearly one in four Miami picks in this span reached a Pro Bowl. UCF (Brandon Marshall, Josh Sitton, Asante Samuel) is no slouch either.
