Draft factoids post #5

Have you ever wondered why some newly drafted Eagles seem to be in a different world when they join the team (I’m looking at you Freddie Mitchell). Perhaps it’s because they went to school in a place far, far away, where morals and values and skills are all relative terms (Freddie went to UCLA. Stupid UCLA that didn’t win the stupid tourney and lost me a stupid $200.)

So, in order to better understand how our young eaglets are coping with the cultural change from places that suck to Philly, here’s a look at where we’ve pulled the most players since 1990:

Teams with five Eagles draftees
Alabama: RB Siran Stacy, DB Mark McMillian, LB Derrick Oden, TE Tony Johnson, WR Freddie Milons
California: DB Eric Zomalt, QB Dave Barr, DE Brandon Whiting, OT John Welbourn, C John Romero
Colorado: DT Leonard Renfro, P Mitch Berger, QB Koy Detmer, OG Melvin Thomas, SS Michael Lewis
Florida State: QB Casey Weldon, WR Phillip Riley, DB Byron Capers, OT Tra Thomas, DT Corey Simon
Notre Dame: LB Scott Kowalkowski, RB Tony Brooks, CB Bobby Taylor, CB Allen Rossum, LB Tyreo Harrison

Teams with four Eagles draftees
Auburn
Georgia
UCLA

Teams with three Eagles draftees
Arkansas
Miami
Michigan State
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Oregon
Tennessee
