Sooner Power! A Hilarious Look at Oklahoma's NFL Alumni
The University of Oklahoma Sooners are legendary for their crimson pride, their fight song that gets stuck in your head for days (Boomer Sooner!), and of course, their conveyor belt of NFL talent. We're talking about a program that boasts more Heisman Trophy winners (7) than some entire conferences! But where do all these superstars go after they leave the hallowed grounds of Norman? Let's take a dip into the Sooner wellspring of NFL excellence, shall we?
From Humble Beginnings to the Big Leagues: A Sooner's Journey
Back in the day, Oklahoma churned out greats like Lee Roy Selmon, a defensive lineman so ferocious he could make grown men weep. Then there was Billy Sims, a running back who juked defenders like they were lost tourists on I-35. These days, the Sooners keep the NFL happy with guys like Baker Mayfield, the quarterback with the swagger of a pirate captain, and Adrian Peterson, a running back who just won't quit, even though Father Time keeps sending him the bill.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.

But Wait, There's More!
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
The Sooners aren't a one-trick pony. They've sent linebackers who could sniff out a screen pass from a mile away (looking at you, Brian Bosworth!), receivers who could snag a football in a hurricane (Sterling Shepard, anyone?), and even offensive linemen so big they needed their own zip code (Orlando Brown Jr., we see you!). Basically, if a team in the NFL needs a difference-maker, they know where to look: Norman, Oklahoma.
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.

So Many Sooners, So Little Time
Seriously, there have been hundreds of Oklahoma players who've graced the NFL stage. We could be here all day name-dropping, but trust me, your favorite team has probably had a Sooner on their roster at some point. These guys are like footballing cockroaches - resilient, adaptable, and guaranteed to show up when the lights are brightest.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
How to Spot a Sooner in the NFL (It's Easier Than You Think!)
- Listen for the Accent: They might not all have the thickest drawl, but there's a certain twang to the Sooner spirit that sometimes peeks through in interviews.
- The Celebration: The "Sooner Schooner" hand gesture (think pointing your index fingers at the sky and rocking back and forth) is a dead giveaway.
- Undying Loyalty: If a player keeps talking up his "Sooner family" and seems weirdly obsessed with crimson and cream, that's your guy.
Bonus: How to Become an Honorary Sooner
- Cheer Loudly: The louder the better. Bonus points for learning the fight song (although learning the choreography is strictly optional).
- Embrace the Boomer: It's not just a word, it's a way of life.
- Never Underestimate the Power of Crimson and Cream: These are the best damn colors in college football, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
So there you have it, folks! A crash course in Oklahoma's NFL dominance. Now you can impress your friends at your next watch party with your newfound Sooner knowledge. Just remember, with great knowledge comes great responsibility...like the responsibility to cheer for the Sooners whenever you get the chance!
