We had a lot of talent in those years. We kept building it up each year. I think our teams in the McNabb years had the most.

A few years back, I did a study of how many players on each roster made the pros, either as draftees or free agents, based on the "Orange in professional football" section of the media guide. These guys weren't All-Pros or even starters. They were just employed by a pro team at some point, which means they must have been pretty good players in college. Here are the totals for the Coach mac and Pasqualoni years:

1981: 10 players in 1982-85

1982: 12 players in 1983-86

1983: 13 players in 1984-87

1984: 17 players in 1985-88

1985: 23 players in 1986-89

1986: 26 players in 1987-90

1987: 32 players in 1988-91

1988: 28 players in 1989-92

1989: 31 players in 1990-93

1990: 33 players in 1991-94

1991: 31 players in 1992-95

1992: 35 players in 1993-96

1993: 32 players in 1994-97

1994: 30 players in 1995-98

1995: 33 players in 1996-99

1996: 35 players in 1997-00

1997: 33 players in 1998-01

1998: 36 players in 1999-02

1999: 31 players in 2000-03

2000: 32 players in 2001-04

2001: 31 players in 2002-05

2002: 29 players in 2003-06

2003: 31 players in 2004-07

2004: 27 players in 2005-07
