Actually, having 1 player in the NFL is an improvement over a typical year post DP.
Worse is # of players who have actually contributed to an NFL team...our track record over 20 years...ZERO
Wasn't Donald Mitchell a contributor to Tennessee a few years ago?
Yes, PonyFans.com's featured columnist Donald Mitchell was in the NFL until last year. He was playing for the Cowboys most recently until an injury forced him into retirement. Until this week/last week, frmr. SMU QB Richard "Buster" Bartel was a backup for the Cowboys as well (we recruited him at least, so I think he should still count).
In preseason ball, I was thrilled to see two former Mustangs (Bartel and Rogers) on national TV within the same minute. Hey. it's progress I guess.
