How Many Aggies Does It Take to Win a Super Bowl? The Burning Question (Besides How Many Can Fit on a Jumbotron)
Ah, Texas A&M. Home of the 12th Man, maroon everything, and a seemingly endless supply of talented football players. But those gridiron gladiators don't just disappear after graduation, oh no. They take their talents (and possibly their mascots) to the big leagues – the NFL, baby!
So, the question that keeps Aggie fans up at night (besides strategizing the next epic yell practice) is: exactly how many former Texas A&M players are currently dominating Sundays in the NFL?
Here's the thing, folks, it's a numbers game. There's no official stat tracker counting every single former Aggie crushing it on the field. We're talking elusive running backs who could outrun a hurricane (or at least a stampede of those adorable miniature horses they have on campus), defensive linemen who make offensive linemen reconsider their career choices, and quarterbacks with arms stronger than a Texan's handshake.
But fear not, Aggie Nation! We've got some intel for you:
- Drafted Aggies: Websites like Pro-Football-Reference track players drafted from each college. As of right now, that number seems to be in the high dozens for Texas A&M [Pro-Football-Reference texas am nfl players]. That's a whole lotta Aggie for the NFL to handle!
- The Active Game: Now, drafted doesn't always equal "currently dominating." Thankfully, Texas A&M keeps tabs on their "Aggies in the NFL" on their official athletics website. Last we checked, it was a respectable squad of around 10 players [Aggies in the NFL texas a&m athletics].
So, the answer? It depends on how you slice the Aggie pie. Drafted? Dozens. Actively suiting up? A solid crew. But one thing's for sure: there are enough Aggies in the NFL to make Sundays a maroon masterpiece (and maybe intimidate opposing teams with sheer Aggie enthusiasm).
Here's the real question: with all this talent, how long will it take before an Aggie-heavy team takes home the Lombardi Trophy? Stay tuned, folks, because based on the sheer number of Aggies out there, it might just be a matter of time. In the meantime, fire up the grills, get the yell chants ready, and let's celebrate the Aggie invasion of the NFL!
