John McKay's 1967 national champion USC team ruled the 1968 NFL draft

Ron Yary was a lockdown offensive lineman who gave the Minnesota Vikings their greatest era. The Vikings haven't been to the Super Bowl since Yary played for them. Mike Taylor This pick did not have an elite pro career, but Taylor was a top-10 pick at No.

10 in the 1968 NFL draft. Tim Rossovich The USC linebacker went at No. 14 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
