When people speak of college football's "pro factories," they tend to focus on common names. Teams like Ohio State, Notre Dame, Miami and Southern California are well known throughout history for their ability to churn out high draft choices and their alumni classes are stocked with the type of raw abilities general managers and coaches drool over.
Despite not appearing on the more common list of first round-type programs, Boston College enters this year's game as one of the top college football programs to appear in the game. Following Super Bowl 50 last season, the Eagles tied for 26th nationally, having produced 61 players all-time who appeared in the big game.
