With its outstanding football heritage, it's no surprise that USC usually has more players in the pros than any school.

At the start of training camp this summer, there were 44 ex-Trojans on National Football League rosters, including 13 rookies. In fact, USC players were on the rosters of 22 of the NFL's 32 teams. Most of the Trojans were defensive linemen (8), offensive linemen (8), running backs (6) or wide receivers (6).

In 2007, there were 27 Trojans on opening day NFL rosters; only 11 universities had more players (since records are available, USC has been No. 1 in 17 of the last 32 years).

Overall, USC has produced 446 NFL draft picks (plus 28 by the AFL before it merged with the NFL) and 414 players who since 1920 played in the NFL (or its sister leagues, the AFL or All-America Football Conference).
