All Time NFL Team from your favorite College
-
Johnny? How?
Wouldn't you at least pick Tannehill?
Yea, I guess I didn't make it clear.....what I wanted was those players from each school that did the best in the Pros....not in college.
Example....take Ohio St. One of the greatest college performers of all time....only 2X Heisman winner, Archie Griffin.....would not land on the Ohio St. All Pro team.

All one thread now? Geez... I miss being special...

there is a simple resource for this: PFR...."schools".
I Will help you out with your "pre 1990 Wolverine team"

RB Ron Johnson
TE Jim Mandich
WR John Harden
WR Jim Smith
OT John Geisler
OT Steve Smith
OG Dan Dierdorf
OG Tom Mack

I know, I know. But anyone could just look up numbers and post the highest.

PFR gives you the list of who played.....and you can look and use the "highest" number if you wish....but you don't have to. You can go by your preferred recollection.
Some schools are more fertile at different positions....take OSU.....not much at QB or OG....but ooutstanding at WR/LB/DB/OT and a few other slots. Its a resource, not a be all end all.

Technically, Ernie Green played Halfback for the Browns.....but in reality, he was a prime blocking back and in today's terms he would be considered perhaps a Fullback....or something H-back whatever.

FB Richie Anderson 1/ Michael Robinson 1
RB Franco Harris 9 /Lenny Moore 7 /Lydell Mitchell 3 / Curt Warner 3
WR1 Bobby Engram/ Joe Jurevicius
WR2 OJ McDuffie/ Jimmy Cefalo / Dick Hoak 1

DT Rosey Grier 2/ Mike Reid 2 / Tim Johnson
DE Tamba Hali 4 / Bruce Clark 1 / Mike Hartenstein
ILB Matt Millen 1 / Shane Conlan 3 / Navorro Bowman 2 / Lance Mehl 1
OLB Jack Ham 8 / Dave Robinson 3 / Cameron Wake 4 / Lavar Arrington 3
S Mike Zordick / Darren Perry / Kim Herring / Harry Hamilton
CB David Macklin / Paul Lankford
K Matt Bahr
P Greg Montgomery 1
Offense: We're going to run the ball a lot. Great stable of running backs behind an awesome interior offensive line, but we have some clutch receivers for Collins to throw to as well. So much depth at RB that I moved Hoak out to flanker, and Lenny Moore will be third-down back and all-around headache.
Defense: Linebacker U ... Standouts like Ralph Baker, Paul Pusluszny, Rich Milot, Andre Collins and Greg Buttle got left off the roster, and there is an old-timer, Chuck Drazenovich, that probably belongs on the roster, but i don't know much about him, 4 pro bowls. Strong up front, and solid safeties, but apparently Joe Pa didn't produce too many cornerbacks, I only found two solid starters, we will utilize the safeties to do some press coverage, but hopefully our front seven will be so fierce we can hide our weakness in the secondary.

I have always contended that Ohio State actually has produced more better LBs than PSU has.
PSU has Ham, Conlan, Robinson, Millen, Bowman, Baker, Arrington, Poslusny and some others
OSU has had Gradishar, Spielman, Pepper, Stan White, Vrabel, Laurenitis, Hawk, Brudzinski, Houston, Diggs, Cousineau and others
The one other school that could contest PSU/OSU is probably USC with the likes of Seau, Matthews/Matthews, Rod Martin, Tatupu, Chip Banks, Maualauga, Del Rio, Cushing, Duane Bickett and some others.
Any other schools? Illinois may not have quantity, but they had quality producing both Butkus and Nitschke.
Who else?
-
We have a good list from the 70s on. I'd have to double check their NFL production. Our best LB ever had to leave the NFL after just a few years due to injuries, but he was the league's tackle leader in that span.
-
In this light, we could do: Best school at producing which position:
Running backs? Syracuse has had an historical top spot: JB, Csonka, Floyd Little. All HOF.
USC of course, with OJ, Gifford, Marcus Allen etc.
QBs? Alabama has to be looked at: Starr, Namath, Stabler, Richard Todd. Miami's Big Three is pretty good: Vinny, Kelly, Bernie
Purdue has to be considered: Griese, Dawson, Everett, Brees, Jeff George, Orton, Danielson, even Phipps.
WR? Ohio State doesn't take a back seat: 3 HOF: Carter, Lavelli, Warfield.
What other schools have excelled at producing certain positions?
-
Texas, Florida, LSU all call themselves DBU. But that was fairly short term.

If you just go by which schools have the most HOF inductees at the DB position, you get a tie between 3 schools with 2 HOFers each:
Iowa, USC, and Southern
But, in actuality, what has the most HOF DBs is: the traditional black colleges. Jackson St., Grambling, Southern, Prairie View A&M, Scottsbluff College, Bishop all have HOF players. Of course these schools were in the south...and most of the HOF DBs still come from the time of southern discrimination.
Today, the guys that may have in earlier times had to go to Grambling or Southern now probably go to Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss etc.

The real OSU had arguably the best starter/back up situation at RB with Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas respectively.

They have had good RBs, true. Not much else. Those two are the only 2 OK St. players in the HOF.
Edit: I will take that back. OK St. has produced some very good defensive linemen: Kevin Williams, Jamal Williams, Leslie O'Neal and Jerry Sherk. None HOF at this point though K. Williams may have an outside shot. O'Neal was borderline.

Yes, the premise is which guys at each position from your school had the best Pro career....not college.
It would be foolish of me to wax poetic about the Pro careers of Craig Krenzel and Troy Smith....but one did win a national championship and the other a Heisman.....but not so fast my friend on their pro career.
(and the opposite is true....shit...take Tom Brady. He had to fend off Champ Henson to start for Michigan......but one of the greatest pro QBs ever.)
