With the 17th pick in the second round ( 49th pick overall ) the San Francisco 49ers selected Taylor Mays from USC. Taylor is shown here talking with then USC head coach Pete Carroll during a game against the University of California at Berkeley during the 2009 season.

Update: In January of 2010 Pete Carroll resigned as head coach of the USC football program to take over the head coaching duties at the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. On June 10th, 2010 the USC football and basketball programs were hit wit massive sanctions by the NCAA for violations that occurred while coach Carroll was in charge of the football program. Funny how Pete Carroll gets a better paying job in the NFL and the players currently at the school who had nothing to do with the violations get penalized. Well, it’s not really funny.
