Worth mentioning that they had a player taken at #2 in 2000 too (LaVar Arrington). Only school to produce the top two picks in one draft.

Surprised that Alabama is not at the top of the list also. Also seems strange that it was only 15 years ago that an Alabama player had never won a Heisman. Considering the success that Alabama enjoyed prior to one of their own winning the trophy for the best CFB Player of the year it indicates to me that Alabama's success before was a team/program statement where it wasn't necessary to have a "generational" talent to be the best team and program in the nation. Lot of teams have had a Heisman winner who lead them to a natty, Alabama won a bunch of natty's without a Heisman winner. That is, to me, impressive....the bastards.

For sure team oriented and obviously much more sustainable year to year.
That said, they won their last two with first round draft picks at QB.

Chicago (1) — Jay Berwanger (1936) First winner of the Heisman Trophy
#2 pick first Alabama (and SEC) player drafted: QB Riley Smith by Boston Redskins

I remember back in the early 2000s, before Tennessee fell off the map and people still knew who they were, I was going at it with some USC fans. They started bragging about their eleventy-billion Heisman winners, and I mentioned that the Heisman was just a popularity contest. I pointed out that (at the time) Alabama and Tennessee had some 1,500 wins between them, and not a single Heisman. They were quite surprised.

Did you notice the 'other' Alabama player drafted in 1936?
With the 4th pick of the 4th round, the Brooklyn Dodgers selected Paul Bryant from Alabama.

Oklahoma will immediately be the second most decorated football program in the SEC when they arrive. And frankly, a big gap to number 3.

The conference titles alone are staggering. They are about as blue blood as it gets

Oklahoma has had seven Heisman winners. However, they have NEVER won a national championship in the years that they had a Heisman winner.
Only ONE future Heisman winner was a starter on a national championship team (Billy Vessels-1950). Two others were reserves on NC teams ( Billy Sims-1975, Jason White- 2000).

OU had #1 and 3 of top 4 picks in one draft (1/3/4). 2009: Sam Bradford (1), Gerald McCoy (3) and Trent Williams (4).

Bruce would've been a good pick for someone knowing his future. Definitely not a no. 1, but he had a long career and was a decent pass rusher.
Jamarcus? If they knew his future he would've gone undrafted.

That'll happen when the entirety of your program's history consisted of a one game season.

How many of those panned out as worthy of #1 through their career?
