Well, the tough part remains,  as I said....who is left are all 1966 or before.    One hint:   Two Heisman winners, one for each school remain.    And to be honest with you....one guy I never really heard of before.

Why exactly do we need a thread with all of these old trivia questions? 

I mean, the daily trivia questions are fine, but this massive thread is here why?

Name these players from these schools that went in the Top 3 Overall. 

Answers:

 Ohio State:

1938  Jim McDonald...#2

1956 Hopalong Cassady.....#3

1964 Matt Snell   AFL.....#3

1974  John Hicks.....#3

1979 Tom Cousineau.....#1

1994 Dan Wilkinson....#1

1997  Shawn Springs.....#3

1997  Orlando Pace  #1

2016 Joey Bosa...#3

2019 Nick Bosa.....#2

Michigan:

1941  Tom Harmon  #1

1966  Tom Mack  #2

2005 Braylon Edwards  #3

2008 Jake Long  #1

This year.....Chase Young and Jeffrey Okudah seem like they may go  #2 and 3....and remember the putative #1, Joe Burrow, started his college career at Ohio State.    I don't know if there has ever been a situation where the players picked  1, 2, 3  came from the same school....or even ever attended the same school at some point (before transferring)
