In the past four drafts, 17 Pitt players have been selected — the second-most in the Atlantic Coast Conference behind only Clemson.
Overall, the Pitt football program has produced 300 NFL draft picks, which is tied for 19th all-time alongside the Auburn Tigers.

When it comes to the 2025 NFL Draft, it’s still undetermined how many Pitt players will hear their names called. Wide receiver Konata Mumpfield, offensive lineman Branson Taylor and tight end Gavin Bartholomew are all candidates to get selected on the third day.
Kicker Ben Sauls, safety Donovan McMillon and linebacker Brandon George all have the possibility to get selected as well, but are trending more toward free agent signings.
Still, Pitt has been successful at developing and placing players in the NFL ranks and there is certain to be more names added to the Pat Narduzzi era draft board as this year marks the 10th draft class under the head coach.
