Former players in the N.F.L.: 5 – WR Tyree Barnes (New England Patriots), FB Kyle Eckel (Philadelphia Eagles), FB Eric Kettani (New England Patriots), OG Mike Wahle (Seattle Seahawks), RB Shun White (New England Patriots).

Top five N.F.L. players from Navy: Navy is entitled to a pass here, just like we gave to Army for its lack of alumni in the N.F.L. And yes, by and large, the Mids have not put a plethora of ex-players into the pro ranks. But one, of course, was Roger Staubach, one of the great quarterbacks in N.F.L. history. So, in addition to graduating a United States president (Jimmy Carter), a man who walked on the moon (Alan Shepard), an Arctic explorer (Richard Byrd) and countless others who have made their mark on American life, Navy has given us a Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

1. QB Roger Staubach (Dallas; 1969-79)
2. OG Mike Wahle (Green Bay, Carolina, Seattle; 1998-present)
3. OT Max Lane (New England; 1994-2000)
4. WR Phil McConkey (Giants, Green Bay, San Diego, Phoenix; 1984-89)
5. RB Napoleon McCallum (Los Angeles; 1986-94)
