Hello Fellow CAA fans! We at the W&M Sports Blog decided to update this ranking, as we did last year! We found some interesting tidbits, such as:
-There are currently ~64 CAA players in the NFL (including Rookie Mini Camp Invites)
-Roughly HALF of these players come from THREE programs in the CAA
-The bottom three teams only have a combined 1 player in the NFL
-Richmond catapulted up the rankings, adding three more NFL players than at this stage last year; the program continues to be one of the most represented CAA programs in the NFL.
Definitely check out the link, and feel free to fact-check our lists! To find all the players, we used the ESPN tool (in the link below), and conducted research through each team's Twitter pages/official websites to find their Rookie Mini Camp invites (if their program had any).
Good luck this year Spiders!
