Here's an interesting experiment. Try wearing a Temple sweatshirt at the 2020 NFL Combine and walk through the hallway gauntlet at the Indiana Convention Center without someone yelling, "Hey Temple."
The annual NFL audition for college players is, as expected, littered with players from football rich schools like Alabama, LSU, Michigan and Ohio State.
But you'd be surprised to know that there are probably more people with ties to Temple than any other university. The Andy Reid coaching tree has received a good deal of attention for sprouting its share of NFL talent in the coaching and personnel profession, but Temple might be able to give Big Red a run for his money.
