Right off the top of my head it seems that The Packers must be the team with the most Miners over the years. Fred Carr, Billy Stevens, Chris Jacke and now Aaron. Anyone have access to such history?

Thanks Roy and also jdubb for the reminder. How could I not mention Jesse earlier? My memory is needing assistance. Used to play golf with Jesse while he was back home in the off season.
Back to the subject...Roy; guess I was correct. Counted 15 under The Packers with Dallas next at 14.

Two of the greatest franchises in NFL history. Coincidence? I think not.
Was UTEP a powerhouse in the late 60's early 70's? They had 34 players drafted in a seven year span from 1967-1973. I don't think UTEP will be able to duplicate that accomplishment ever again. It seems unbelievable.

I wouldn't call UTEP a powerhouse in the late 60's or early 70's but were a competitive bunch. My favorite Miner from that era was Charlie West who played pro ball with Vikings. Don Maynard was a special talent too. The Jets, it seems to me had two talented Texan receivers on that Jets squad: Maynard & George Sauer (well, at least he attended UT at Austin)..
