It is no secret that the Miami Hurricanes football program has routinely produced some of the top NFL talent and continues to leave its mark in the NFL on an annual basis when alumnus hear their name at the NFL Draft. Notably, in the past few decades, it has become the norm to spot a slew of Canes alumnus competing on Sundays. In their proverbial rite of passage into the NFL, many of the NFL Canes were viewed as the cream of the crop at the college level and were drafted in the first round.
The NFL Canes presence remains evident as there are currently 47 Miami Hurricanes alumni on a team roster as of May 9, 2020, including seasoned veterans like Frank Gore, Greg Olsen, Jimmy Graham, and Calais Campbell.
