1. Miami Hurricanes
Draft picks last 25 years: 13, including Willis McGahee, Lamar Miller, Frank Gore, Clinton Portis and Edgerrin James.
The skinny: The U hasn't produced the most picks of any school, but the team's still-rich history and the number of impact backs it has produced is enough to keep the Hurricanes atop this list. Four Miami running backs have rushed for more than 8,000 yards in the NFL, and a remarkable nine of the school's 13 draft picks turned into a team's primary ball carrier at the next level. With Duke Johnson and freshman Joseph Yearby on the roster in 2014, along with a strong commitment to the ground game, expect Miami to be able to hold off others for this title in the coming years, too.

U already know! And for what it's worth, Mike James wasn't looking too bad before his injury.
 
Ottis Anderson and Edge have over 10,000 yards in the NFL. Gore is knocking on the door of 10,000. Portis was 73 yards short of 10,000, and McGahee needs around 1,600 to reach 10,000 yards. UM RB's have had very good NFL careers.
 
OP you were being modest! Just saw we were named Running Back U, Wide Receiver U and Number 2 for Linebacker U!!

Ironic, since next season we have an oft injured, small RB coming off a major injury, and NOTHING but 3rd and 4th tier backups after that.

Good thing we have a great QB!
