As of Week 1, there are nine former Arizona Wildcats on NFL teams. Be it part of the 53-man roster or on the practice squad, they are in the league and getting paid as professionals.

That total ties the program for last in the conference, with Washington State, a full three behind the next lowest, which is Arizona State.

Though Arizona is not known as or expected to be an NFL factory like Ohio State, LSU or Washington, the fact that they have been so inept at sending guys to the next level is pretty disturbing.
