Virginia Cavaliers football hasn’t exactly been a top program in the country since the turn of the century. But with 47 NFL draft picks since 2001, we have more than enough names to make things interesting here.
Thomas Jones, John St. Clair, Shannon Taylor, and Antwan Harris will not be eligible to make this ranking. Although they were drafted in 2000 (the turn of the century), they finished their careers at THE University of Virginia in 1999, and I have decided to cut them from eligibility. Thomas Jones would have made the list had this rule not been implemented.
