re: USC players in the NFL

Keith Rivers was on pace to win DROY, until he got his Jaw broke. Should be a pro-bowler this season. Lofa Tatupu is a 3 time pro-bowler including his rookie season. Bush was having a great season last year until the injury. mike Patterson is a stud for Philly, Sed Ellis had a solid rookie season for the saints, much better player than Glen Dorsey. Sam Baker was an instant starter as a rookie and was having a very strong season for the Falcons until he got hurt. Justin Fargas is a 1000 yard rusher in the league. Sanchez will be good, espn has him as the front runner for Offensive ROY, though it is way too premature to make that a serious statement. Deuce Lutui is one of the better guards in the NFC, Ryan Kalil was an instant starter, and helps Carolina have one of the best rushing attacks in the league. You can expect Cushing to have a big season for a rookie.


If you really want to see a program that produces good college performers but busts in the league then look no further than Florida.
