By now you’ve likely already had your fantasy football draft and are set for the NFL to kick-off on Thursday night as the defending champion Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills.

You can probably guess a few of the colleges that produced the most current NFL talent but where a couple powerhouses rank may surprise you.

Here are the topsouth caro 40 programs in terms of current NFL talent.
