There are two ultimate goals of every college football program. The first is to win a championship and second is to get as many of their players to the National Football League as possible.
BYU has plenty of history in the NFL, with a Hall of Fame quarterback in Steve Young, another Super Bowl champion quarterback in Jim McMahon, along with Pro Bowlers like Bart Oates, Todd Christensen, Chad Lewis, and many others.
Currently, BYU has a healthy crop of Cougars in the NFL starting with All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner. Taysom Hill always grabs headlines and Kyle Van Noy and Daniel Sorensen each have had steady careers on defense.
