Sooner or Later They All Go Pro: A Hilarious Look at Oklahoma's NFL Pipeline
The University of Oklahoma Sooners are a powerhouse in college football, consistently churning out championship-caliber talent. But where do these gridiron gladiators go after they hang up their crimson and cream cleats? You guessed it, the bright lights of the NFL, baby!

From Boomer Sooner to Touchdown Maker: A Storied History
The Sooners boast a legendary NFL alumni list. We're talking about Hall of Famers like Lee Roy Selmon, the pass rusher who made quarterbacks see ghosts (not the friendly kind that hang out around the dorms). There's also Billy Sims, the running back who juked defenders so hard they needed chiropractors on the sidelines.
More recently, we've seen stars like Adrian Peterson, the man who ran like a runaway train powered by pure rage (good rage, for fantasy football owners at least), and Baker Mayfield, the quarterback with the swagger of a pirate captain and the arm strength of a medieval trebuchet.
Let's not forget the current crop of Sooners tearing up the NFL! CeeDee Lamb is catching passes like he has magnets in his gloves, and Kyler Murray is scrambling around the pocket like he's auditioning for the next Matrix movie.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
But Wait, There's More!
The Sooners' NFL factory doesn't stop there. We're talking a conveyor belt of talent, folks. Offensive linemen who block like brick walls, linebackers who sniff out fumbles like a bloodhound on a steak, and safeties who hit receivers harder than a math test on a Friday night.
The point is, Oklahoma to the NFL is a well-worn path. Put another way, if you see a Sooners player with a cannon for an arm or the footwork of a ballerina on roller skates, there's a good chance they'll be lighting up the NFL scoreboard in a few years.
How Many Sooners Does it Take to Screw in a Light Bulb?
Trick question! Sooners are too busy dominating the gridiron to worry about light bulbs. They leave that to the poor souls who drafted them in the later rounds.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
