On April 25, 2009, there were 11 former Pac-10 players chosen in the first and second rounds of the NFL Draft and all of them have signed contracts with their respective teams. Of the 11 players chosen, four were selected in the first round and only four schools were represented: USC (5), Oregon (4), Oregon State (1), and Arizona (1). Let's check 'em out...
1st Round, 5th Pick - QB Mark Sanchez (USC Trojans) by the New York Jets
He signed a 5-year deal worth up to $60M, including $28M guaranteed. As a result of being a QB, his contract was much more lucrative than previous #5 picks. Now it really seems like a great idea to jump to the pros after his junior year, which culminated in him winning the Rose Bowl Offensive MVP with 413 yards through the air, four passing TDs, and one rushing.
1st Round, 15th Pick - LB Brian Cushing (USC Trojans) by the Houston Texans
He signed a 5-year deal worth up to $18M, including $10.435M guaranteed. He is pictured in the bottom photo.
1st Round, 21st Pick - C Alex Mack (Oregon Ducks) by the Cleveland Browns
He signed a 5-year deal worth up to $15M, including $8.3M guaranteed. He is pictured at the top (photo courtesy of Ben Liebenberg, NFL.com).
1st Round, 26th Pick - LB Clay Matthews III (USC Trojans) by the Green Bay Packers
He signed a 5-year deal worth up to $13.2M, including $7.1M guaranteed.
2nd Round, 2nd Pick (34th overall) - S Patrick Chung (Oregon Ducks) by the New England Patriots
He signed a 4-year deal, but the monetary terms are currently undisclosed.
2nd Round, 6th Pick (38th overall) - LB Rey Maualuga (USC Trojans) by the Cincinnati Bengals
