UVA Football: 11 wins in the fall, but no NFL Draft picks in the spring

Virginia won a school-record 11 games in the fall, but had just one bona fide NFL prospect, tailback J’Mari Taylor, who went undrafted this weekend.

Clemson and Miami had nine names called in the 2026 NFL Draft to lead ACC schools.

Duke, which upset UVA in the 2025 ACC Championship Game, had three.

Rounding out the list: Georgia Tech, NC State, Stanford and Wake Forest each had two players selected, and Cal, Florida State, Louisville, Pitt and SMU had one selection apiece.
