    Otto Graham is correct

    6. According to Forbes Magazine, which ranked, academically, the Top 650 Colleges and Universities in America, the following were the Top Ten in order: 1. Williams College, 2. Princeton, 3. The US Military Academy (Army), 4. Amherst, 5. Stanford, 6. Harvard, 7. Haverford College 8. Univ. of Chicago, 9. MIT, 10. Air Force Academy

    Question: Name all of the Pro Football Hall of Famers who attended these schools (hint: 4 names)

    John Elway, James Lofton and Ernie Nevers attended Stanford

    Marv Levy attended Harvard

    7. According to Forbes Magazine, the bottom 10 on this list of 650 were: 641. Eastern Michigan, 642. UW-Milwaukee, 643. Wright State, 644. Northern Kentucky, 645. Western Michigan, 646. Columbia College, Chicago 647. Mary Baldwin College 648. Morgan St. 649. Arkansas-Little Rock, 650. Tennessee St.

    Question: Name all of the Pro Football Hall of Famers who attended these schools (Hint: 5 names)

    Richard Dent attended Tenn. State (they will have another once Terrell Owens will be inducted, and he will be)

    Morgan St. had the following: Leroy Kelly, Len Ford, Roosevelt Brown and Willie Lanier

    8. Of the 20 schools named above in Qs 6 and 7, name all the Heisman Trophy winners that came from any of these schools.

    Cleveland Rams owner Dan Reeves. Allegedly for "opening up the west coast" to NFL football when he moved the Rams there. More appropriately was that he knew with Paul Brown and the Browns being formed that the Rams could not stay here...so he moved to the biggest city in the country without a team. A fricking no brainer. And for that you get into the HOF? I guess he did own the team from like 1935 to 1971 when he died.

    10. Name the persons who hold ALL of the following distinctions: won the Heisman Trophy, was the #1 overall selection in the NFL draft, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

    There are only 3: OJ Simpson, Earl Campbell, and Paul Hornung.
