Since 2016, only one school has had a top-3 pick in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts.
That would be @CalAthletics:
2016 Jared Goff No. 1 - NFL
2016 Jaylen Brown No. 3 - NBA
2019 Andrew Vaughn No. 3 - MLB— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) June 4, 2019
The official Cal Athletics account followed up with their own version of this factoid, but expanded the timeframe—making it far less impressive by subsequently accommodating for another school to match the feat.
The @SlangOnSports tweet got me thinking about Cal’s success across drafts, so I decided to take my own dive into the data and made a finding that is now officially official after Thursday’s NBA Draft.
