What's the highest number of rookies to start in the NFL off of a college team?

I was thinking 2002 Miami probably had a bunch, just wasn't sure who all started.

As much success as LSU had from it's rookies this year, 7 Ohio State players started as rookies this year at some point in the NFL. Pretty incredible for a team competing in the CFPCG.

I would bet one of those mid-2000s Texas teams had a lot as well.

Bradley Roby - CB - Denver
Ryan Shazier - LB - Pittsburgh
Jack Mewhort - OG - Indy
Corey Linsley - C - Green Bay
Andrew Norwell - OL - Carolina
Philly Brown - WR - Carolina
Carlos Hyde - RB - Santa Clara

Nice job.




The second part of the equation is the more impressive part IMO. College Football Playoff Championship game participants.

I was assuming that other teams had more than 7. Pitt, Green Bay, Carolina and Indy are all still alive as well.

If Hyde plays for Santa Clara, the new york jets and giants, are really the Jersey Jets/giants. And redskins players should be refered to as Maryland Skins. /endrant

Didn't know if he started or not. I know James Wright has gotten a few passes with the bengals due to some WR injuries but don't know if he started either.

9ers didn't make the playoffs, but still. Very solid from Ohio State, and all the more impressive replacing those guys to get to the highest level.

But I read on the tiger Rant that it was impossible to field a competitive team in CFB when losing that much NFL talent

Such a great pickup by the Texans. FWIW, I didn't think he'd have near the production he's had.

I am fairly certain Barrow has not started a game for the Broncos. He has hardly seen the field this year outside of special teams and that is despite a rash of injuries at the linebacker position.

Just looked it up. He is credited with 1 start. None for James Wright or Anthony Johnson. LINK

Lamin Barrow has absolutely positively started one game for the Broncos is 2014.
