Do you associate certain NFL teams with any college programs?

Right now, there’s obviously a strong tie between the Bengals and LSU, the Dolphins and Bama. What immediately comes to mind is the 90’s Cowboys with University of Miami. Jimmy Johnson came from Miami, and during the back to back titles, they had these guys from The U:
Michael Irvin
Jimmie Jones
Russell Maryland
Bernie Kosar
Kevin Williams
Darrin Smith
Alfredo Roberts
4 of those guys started regularly, and another 2 had some moments in Big D. I believe 6 were on the 1993 team together.

Saints and Ohio State is an extremely obvious one

Texans have had a bunch of Clemson/South Carolina players there for a while. Watson, Hopkins, Clowney, Jonathan Joseph, DJ Reader, Carlos Watkins, Marcus Gilchrist, feels like there’s others I am forgetting. The ownership/Easterby connection to the state I’m sure was part of the reason why

Eagles-Bama
Hurts, Smith, and Dickerson are all key cogs in their offense

For OM fans same as LSU/Cinci it was OM/NYG due to Eli.

Jags fans tend to be mostly Florida and Georgia fans for obvious reasons. I'm sure they've gained a lot of Clemson fans though.

Jags and Bucs had a lot of UF players.

Raiders and USC
Al Davis was once an assistant coach at USC...those were his guys.
And with the Raiders he drafted a shite ton of USC guys or traded for them.
He had a single-minded pipeline. He gave Todd Marinovich a second chance probably because he was just a USC player.

David Pollack
Odell Thurman

some not as important, but AJ and GEno being the best players on offense and defense respectively was fun

Ravens have had a ton of Bama players since Ozzie Newsome became their GM.
They currently have 3 Bama players on the roster and have drafted 12 Bama players since the franchise first began, including long-time starting LB Jarret Johnson, all-pro FB LeRon McClain, Super Bowl champ NT Terrence Cody, longtime starter LB Courtney Upshaw, all-pro LB CJ Moseley, all-pro corner Marlon Humphrey, and longtime starting center Bradley Bozeman.

In the early 2010s, I bet about half of the players for the Chiefs came from the SEC. They were being called the SEChiefs on the SEC Rant.

Maybe not one college team but I feel like the entire Falcons team every year either played in the SEC, ACC, or Sun Belt

Few will remember it was Tex Schramm and Tom Landry who drafted Irvin. San Fran traded up in front of Dallas to select Jerry Rice two years prior. Dallas was desperate for an impact wr and subsequently drafted Irvin.
Sidenote* I got to meet Maryland at the pro football HOF the year Irvin was inducted. Very nice guy.
