Is LaTech emerging as a "DL U"?

[boxerdog]

With Vernon Butler recently being drafted in the 1st round along with several other former Dawgs currently in the league, I wonder if any other G5 conference school has more former DL in the NFL?

Vernon Butler (Panthers)
Houston Bates (Redskins)
Justin Ellis (Raiders)
Von Dora (Raiders?)
IK (Bills?)
D'Anthony Smith (free agent?)

One has to believe that the recent success and recognition of LaTech DL has precipitated unprecedented success in recruiting acclaimed players for this position group. I suspect multiple players on the current roster will have an opportunity to play at the highest level.

I don't know the answer to your main question, but Dora plays for the Broncos.

[Woof!]

Yep, he's the "other" Von.

This is the latest thing I have read about Von.

Great point.

How many of you would like to see both Vons lined up at the same time?
