Watching Justin Jackson fall to the 251st overall pick on Saturday got me thinking about NU's draft record (not good) and on-field record (pretty good). So I did a little digging and number crunching. Not surprisingly, NU does very well in terms of getting the most bang for its buck compared to other Big Ten schools in terms of producing NFL talent.
Over the last 10 years, NU ranks 13th in the Big Ten in producing NFL picks but 7th in terms of winning percentage.
Northwestern's W-L record far outweighs its NFL Draft record
