Wait! what? for one.. change your avatar.. I thought MJP28 stole your laptop
.. Can I challenge your call? Bud Grant played for the Eagles.. & that damn Ulysses was a President
There have been several players with the last name Grant that have played in the NFL. So, you can challenge all you want: Your challenge is DENIED!!
And yes, I have kidnapped...sort of...mjps avatar, and will release it when he pays the ransom.

Holy crap I know most of the football guys but the president's alma maters are tricky......and sometimes surprising.
Jimmy Carter was an Annapolis guy with Staubach to get started.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
How about Garfield?
Hmm, I think you are right. I must have missed that one. Do not see any NFL cats named Garfield.
So make that 8 names.
The thing is, the names Taft and Garfield are so ubiquitous around Ohio, we forget that really these are very rare names.

Yea....Grant and Ike went to Navy. Keep thinking Butch. (I didn't want to overload the thread, so I did not include West Point...where Grant/Ike actually went. No PFHOFer went to Army....but I am sure I could have included the likes of some Army guys. Doc Blanchard did not play in the NFL FYI. Glenn Davis played only in like 16 total NFL games. Same with Angelo Bertelli. Name a top notch NFL player that went to Army.

Yeah I knew that from my dad who was a NAVY guy in WWII and Korea. My dad wanted to take me to see Staubach in his NAVY days when I was a teenager but we never made it. I also wanted to play football at Annapolis but a knee injury wiped that out, I had the pull with my dad and local politicans to give it a shot.......and right in the Vietnam era.
And I don't know what the Gip would have against US Grant, but he is having a Woodstock flashback. Great music !

We got to see Staubach twice at Navy. Fun times..We also saw Marino & Dorsett at Pitt play at either South Bend? or The Big House up in Michigan? I'd have check the ticket scrap book on that one..?

None of what you say is a correct answer. No President ever attended Pitt or Notre Dame.
But...they have attended or been associated with Hiram, Mt. Union, Kenyon, Miami Oh. , Muskingam, Cincinnati....but none of those are applicable answers above.

The thing is, the names Taft and Garfield are so ubiquitous around Ohio, we forget that really these are very rare names.
I could be wrong, just don't remember that name.

No, I checked. There was never a Garfield in the NFL. I missed it. (There have been a few McKinley's)
Like I said, Garfield is not a common name. Only other Garfield I have heard of was actor John Garfield. And I don't think I have ever heard of anyone else named Taft that was not associated with the William Howard Taft family.. Have any of you?
