Thomas Morstead entered the league in 2009 out of SMU as a fifth-round draft pick with the New Orleans Saints.

And the occasion carried significance not just for the former Pro Bowl punter, but for the school.

"I was the only SMU guy in the league," Morstead said.

While SMU would eventually place more players in the NFL -- 15 are now on NFL rosters -- Morstead always had a personal goal.

"I remember getting here and thinking it would be really cool one day to play with an SMU guy on the same team," he said. "And that's when there was no one else in the league."

It's notable that the Saints currently lead their division and have a seven game winning streak.

It's notable that the Saints currently lead their division and have a seven game winning streak.

And the Mustangs on the team are front and center in that success. It’s so much fun seeing Zach Line play regularly.

And now there are 6. Sterling Moore has been re-signed to the roster.

Now, if we can just get E. Sanders here to catch a few from Drew Brees....

I assume this isn't a record for guys from one school on the same NFL team, but i sure can't think of a team with more.
Anyone know of a team that had more?
