Ten football players who were selected in the first round of the NFL draft, and the teams that drafted them:
- Christian Ponder, Minnesota Vikings
- Cameron Jordan, New Orleans Saints
- Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints
- Jake Locker, Tennessee Titans
- Ryan Kerrigan, Washington Professional Football Club
- Mike Pouncey, Miami Dolphins
- Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville Jaguars
- Jimmy Smith, Baltimore Ravens
- Jonathan Baldwin, Kansas City Chiefs
- Nate Solder, New England Patriots
The number one pick overall was a gentleman named Cam Newton, who won the 2010 Heisman Trophy and who, some people believe, will eventually be the second person ever to voluntarily give back his Heisman Trophy after having his eligibility retroactively stripped by the NCAA. He is also one of three first round draft picks named Cameron.
