We don’t think of Salt Lake City as a place that develops future professional football players, but the University of Utah has produced more NFL players than some of the more prestigious schools on this list. What Utah lacks in star power at the professional level, they make up for in quantity. Sure, there are guys like quarterback Alex Smith and safety Eric Weddle that many people will recognize, but the school has also produced more familiar names in recent years like running back Devontae Booker and offensive tackle Garrett Bolles of the Denver Broncos, and outside linebacker Nate Orchard of the Cleveland Browns.
