The Oregon Ducks have had 244 all-time players selected in the NFL Draft. While this may seem like a lot, it only ranks Oregon No. 36 in the country when it comes to this statistic.

At the top of this list are the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Notre Dame has had 532 players selected in the NFL Draft. Right behind them at 530 is Oregon’s former Pac-10, Pac-12, and now current Big Ten west coast foe, the USC Trojans.

After USC, there is a steep drop off from 530 players drafted to the third most with 489 players drafted from the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Wide receiver Troy Franklin, defensive back Khyree Jackson, defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, and running back Bucky Irving were all taken in the fourth round.
