Wow. So 9.4% of the team (8 of 85 scholarships) are NFL legacy. That speaks to a brobdingnagian advantage over non-legacy athletes to play college football. NFL legacy children may account for up to 0.01% of college age kids (a total guess, bu probably very liberal.) I'm sure Stanford is not representative, but even if the average school has 3-5% of players from NFL legacy, that is a 300-500X increase in probability of playing college football if your dad played in the NFL.
