All Time position U

I get Nebraska had good OL back in the day(70's, 80's,90's), but have they produced anybody worthwhile in the last couple decades outside of Incognito? I honestly don't know. ND has had 4 1st Team All Pro OL just in the last decade alone. I'd stack up ND's OL up against anyone.

We've had like 14 OL drafted in that time frame, but yeah, it's been a while since it was regular.

A pretty strong case for being TEU exists too. Kyle Rudolph, Tyler Eifert, Ben Koyack, Durham Smythe all drafted in the last 10 years. Brock Wright was undrafted but made some solid contributions to the Lions last year and Mayer should be a lock in next year’s draft. They guys behind Mayer, Evans, Bauman, Berrong, Staes are all great TE’s.

We've had 20 drafted since 2002, so the last two decades essentially. If that's not at the top, it's probably pretty close.

Yeah and even guys like Cole Kmet, Alize Mack, Troy Niklas and Tommie Tremble we're also drafted in that time frame. Might even be missing a guy or two. And Meyer is likely a first rounder next year.

Yeah completely off my radar.
 
Yeah, nah. The title of RBU still belongs to Wisky-dick imo.

Wisconsin has 5 backs that have rushed for at least 1000 career yards in the league since 2000...3 of them have broken 1000 yards at least once in a season, and one Jonathan White has done it twice. They have combined for 25,642 yards from scrimmage and 182 TD's and 4 Pro Bowl Seasons.

Alabama has 10 backs that have rushed for at least 1000 yards in the league since 2000, 6 of them have broken 1000 yards in a season at least once, of the 6 only Najee Harris, who has only played one season has only done it once...Shaun Alexander has more 1000-yard seasons than all the Wisconsin backs combined with 5. They have combined for 51,750 yards from scrimmage and 402 TD's and 11 Pro Bowl Seasons.

In addition, 6 of Alabama's running backs are still on active rosters...thereby adding to their totals and Brian Robinson was added this year. Wisconsin only has 3 that are likely to make meaningful contributions to their career totals this year.

Alexander is also the only RB in the group that has been the NFL MVP, Henry and Alexander have both been Offensive Player of the Year once.

There are schools that can challenge Alabama for RBU, but Wisconsin is not one of them.
