The Brigham Young Cougars may not have had any players selected in the 2012 NFL Draft, but they were still able to win 10 games in 2011 despite over three-fourths of their opponents having NFL caliber players.
Both Texas and Utah State had three players drafted, which ties for the most by any 2011 opponent.
Utah State inside linebacker Bobby Wagner was the first player selected. The Seattle Seahawks picked him the 47th pick overall (15th pick of the 2nd round).
San Jose State, Idaho State, and Tulsa are the three opponents who did not have any players drafted.
The vast majority (11) of the 15 players drafted are defensive players.
