Counted from ESPN's public NFL roster endpoints, refreshed every 12 hours. ESPN lists one college per player, so anyone who transferred is credited entirely to the school named there — the count is “players ESPN associates with this school”, which is close to but not exactly “players who played there”. School names are matched exactly, so Middle Tennessee, Tennessee Tech and East Tennessee State are counted separately and never folded in.
