    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.

    WR John Harden

    WR Jim Smith

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
