Interesting stat found from the team website:

I went to DraftHistory.com to find the answer and it was an absolutely resounding one for the Florida Gators, whose run of 64 straight drafts with representation began in 1952 (during the Korean War), is nearly three times longer than the league's next-best school -- not to mention 56 years longer than Alabama's -- and rates the fifth-longest in the nation behind only USC (80), Notre Dame (79), Michigan (78) and Michigan State (76).

Miami's current run of at least player taken dates to 1975. Florida State's to 1984.
