Turf Show Times
Each year, 250+ college prospects are drafted by NFL teams and another 500+ are signed as undrafted free agents. These roster candidates are provided by 800+ college football programs from coast-to-coast. 93 percent of NFL 53-man active rosters came from NCAA FBS schools in 2025.
According to drafthistory.com, Notre Dame (538) has had the most players drafted, followed by USC (533), Ohio State (500), and Michigan and Alabama (521). Since 2020, Georgia leads the pack with 70, then comes Alabama (63), Ohio State (61), Michigan (58) and LSU (57).
It’s fair to say that the Rams aren’t on the “big name programs” bandwagon, but they do follow closely behind. L.A.’s scouting braintrust does a good job of scouring the top conferences without relying too heavily on particular schools. You can see that by studying the Rams preseason roster for the upcoming 2026 season.
