    The USC pipeline to the Steelers is not vast but has been very successful to date - WR's Lynn Swann and JuJu Smith and Troy P. Calvin Sweeney came after Swann and many were hoping for the second coming of Lynn, but alas, it didn't work out all that great. happy with the other Trojans who made it to the Steelers.

    Tough to argue against the Trojans.

    I will say Clemson has had a nice 5 year run recently.

    Michigan had a decent run 10-15 years ago.

    Bama has done well over the last 7 years. LSU hasn't faired too bad either.

    Other than Gault for the Bears, anyone of real note?

    good question, I don't have an answer. It seems to go in spurts...

    Meachum is really the only one I can come up with? Maybe I am showing my age too much.

    I remember hearing that talk about Tennessee claiming to be Wide Receiver U, but when it came down to it, it had to be a very short period of time because I can't recall too many All-Americans or noteworthy Tennessee WRs in the NFL.

    Miami - Micheal Irvin, Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson, Greg Olsen, Jeremy Shockley, Brian Blades, Devin Hester, probable more that I can't think of.

    Olsen and Shockley were tight ends.
