USC vs. Miami Production




Every year when the NFL draft is on, I watch it just to see what players get drafted from USC and the University of Miami. Within this decade, I saw that Miami produces the best defensive backs while USC produces alot of good players in different positions. For example, a great defensive player that was produced by Miami was Sean Taylor.
Every game, there would be a receiver or running back that feared Sean Taylor. He recently died in 2007 from gunshot wounds. One of the receivers who feared Sean Taylor was Terrell Owens. when Sean Taylor goes for tackles, he looks to knock himself out, which he did a couple of times. He also had great speed when getting across the field. The reason why I liked him is because he never gave up and he's always the most aggressive person on defense.

Troy Polamalu is the best player that was produced by USC. He's more of a shut down safety that always looks for the ball in the air. He won 2 super bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The second best produced player from USC is Carson Palmer. He was a good quarterback but after his knee injury, his passer rating deceased every year that he played. He is now more injury prone.
Although I really dislike the New York Giants, I like their receiver, Steve Smith who also came from USC. He also won a super bowl in his rookie year with the Giants in 2007.
