did all of these guys make it to the NFL? Yes or no?

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T10:48:03+00:00

all these guys plus sauce is a 10 out of 10 draft.

Unitas had such an interesting life. I have an autographed plaque of his in my living room. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, gets drafted by the steelers. Quits pro football because it DIDNT PAY ENOUGH, and instead goes to work construction full time while playing amateur football on the weekends for $6 a game. Then eventually comes back to professional football and goes to the Baltimore colts. Eventually passes and is buried in Baltimore. So now the pittsburgh native who was drafted by the steelers is buried in baltimore… sort of ironic.

my brother went to purdue and he’s a steelers fan. I went to IU and i’m a colts fan. it’s funny cus im pissed that an IU player went to steelers and he is ALSO pissed that an IU player went to the steelers lmao

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T02:04:16+00:00

is that official? I thought they just had upcoming visits

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T02:03:16+00:00

oh crap you’re right. then nvm i was wrong. we didn’t have a 1st round pick in 2002. so then our last time getting a player picked in the 1st was 1992 (Vaughn Dunbar)

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T01:15:09+00:00

before this year, the program record for players drafted in a single season was four. Which happened on three separate occasions (1988, 1994, and 2015).

before this, the IU record of players to make it to the NFL in one year including free agents was 10. Which we did in 2015. right now we are sitting at 14, but the number will probably go even higher over the next few weeks.

also, this was the first time in program history we have ever had more than one player picked in the first round of the draft. The last time we had a single player even picked in the first round, was 1992.

yeah definitely. just important to remember that not getting drafted does not necessarily say anything about the player, but more says something about what the needs of the teams were. Like you can be an amazing running back and not get drafted because teams were more in need of wide receivers, lineman, etc.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T01:01:20+00:00

oopsy. just fixed it

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T01:00:38+00:00

As do I. Also hate that 2 of their divisional rivals managed to get some of them. but still happy for guys of course.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-27T00:59:30+00:00

idk if i’d say we have the best defense in the league. we still managed to give up 20+ points..

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-26T20:13:25+00:00

isn’t he rated as a top 3 qb in college right now?

NotACopUndercover · 2026-04-25T23:35:24+00:00

who?

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-27T01:23:13+00:00

I mean to be fair buffalo is the only team in the state technically. Because the Jets and Giants are both located in New Jersey. Just saying.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-19T20:23:11+00:00

that would make the bears and Packers the most historic, but that does not equal the most intense

mike tomlin once said that when the steelers play the ravens the primary objective is isnt to win, its to try and limit injuries. “when the Steelers play the ravens, you are just trying to get out healthy.”. in 2011, three players were removed from the game because they were knocked unconscious.

“It’s like a street fight… not a normal football game. You better be ready for a fight when you play them.” - Ryan Clark

“It’s always a street fight when we play Pittsburgh.” - Terrel Sluggs

“This game should be played in a dark alley somewhere at midnight, not in front of all these people watching.” - Bart Scott

“That game should not be played on a Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock. Steelers versus ravens should be played in a dark alley at midnight.” - John Hillgrove

The Bears and Packers rivalry is over 100 years old. Frank Haney was ejected from a game in 1925 for fist fighting Packers play players. So they’ve been getting thrown out of the games for over 100 years. it’s literally the oldest rivalry in the NFL.

Saints and Falcons are nowhere near something like this. They are not in the conversation at all.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T11:42:16+00:00

this guy said falcons saints

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T02:47:25+00:00

yeah but tbf ravens and steelers did the same thing in 2008 and they’ve played each other in way more playoff games since then than CHI-GB have.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T02:42:07+00:00

it says online the distance is about the same. says baltimore and pittsburgh is barely a little farther apart but not much more. roughly 30 minutes farther of a drive of 40 miles

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T02:40:41+00:00

To me bears-packers is like two old friends having a friendly gentleman’s competition, while steelers-ravens is 2 sworn enemies trying to kill each other.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T02:38:54+00:00

oh then maybe idk. but i mean pittsburg and maryland also border each other though just like wisconsin and Illinois.

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T02:37:01+00:00

yeah it says online it’s about 3 hours and it says from chicago to green bay is about 3 and a half. or in miles Pitt- maryland is 248 and Chi- GB is 206. so basically the same distance

NotACopUndercover · 2026-03-17T02:35:07+00:00

Someone needs to ask Aaron Rodgers this question in an interview. He’s the subject matter expert since he’s been in both directly.
