The 15 years after winning the National Title, 1977-1992, an average of 6 Pitt players were selected in the NFL draft per year. Including 1981's (would be the 1980 Pitt team) stellar 12 selections!!!
From 1993 to 2000, a total of 7 players selected. Of course, Pitt being Pitt, one is a HOF (Curtis Martin) and 1 is still has a shot to be a HOFer (Rueben Brown).
But I think that stat explains what happened to Pitt moreso than any other.
