Small Schoolers are taking the NFL over; Over 258 players on rosters

We do things different at NFL Draft Diamonds. We like to give the small school players some fame. So what we did is we went on every roster and took every kid from D2, D3, JUCO, Canada, No College, Kids from Overseas, FCS and NAIA and compiled a list. This list consists of every player on a 53 man roster, everyone on an Injured reserve list and every player on the non-football injury list. This does not include the practice squad.
