Miami football continued dominant 2003 NFL Draft after Fiesta Bowl loss

Error 0:

The Miami football program dominated the NFL Draft for 14 years from 1995-2008 at least one Hurricane was picked in the first round. Miami also went from 1987-2008 with a player chosen at least in the second round. No school has produced as much NFL talent.

The Miami football program became legendary in the 1980s under Hall of Fame Coaches Howard Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson. Schnellenberger is the Hurricanes godfather leading them to their first national championship in 1983. Johnson took the program to another level going 44-4 in from 1985-88.

Under Johnson and through the late 2000s, the Miami football team became the most talented program in the country.
