NC State has proudly produced 15 NFL First Round picks in its history. Nearly half of these draft picks (7) have come within the Top-10. Mario Williams is the Pack's shining glory, because he is the only player in NC State and ACC history, to be drafted 1st overall. While we didn't put out any players in the first round the past three NFL drafts, maybe a name or two from the Pack's roster will crack the 1st round in the 2010 NFL Draft. Here are the 15 First Rounders that came out of the program that we love:
Roman Gabriel - 1962 - 2nd Pick - Los Angeles Rams
Dennis Byrd - 1968 - 6th Pick - Boston Patriots
Charley Young - 1974 - 22nd Pick - Dallas Cowboys
Ted Brown - 1979 - 16th Pick - Minnesota Vikings
Jim Ritcher - 1980 - 16th Pick - Buffalo Bills
Mike Quick - 1982 - 20th Pick - Philadelphia Eagles
Haywood Jeffires - 1987 - 20th Pick - Houston Oilers
Ray Agnew - 1990 - 10th Pick - New England Patriots
Dewayne Washington - 1994 - 18th Pick - Minnesota Vikings
Torry Holt - 1999 - 6th Pick - St. Louis Rams
Koren Robinson - 2001 - 9th Pick - Seattle Seahawks
