Here you go, pure football topic. Per one source, (PFR) the following are the best player that has been produced by each of the Power 5 Conference Teams. By conference:

Georgia Tech: Patrick Swilling

Louisville: John Unitas

Miami, Fla.: Ray Lewis

North Carolina: Lawrence Taylor

Wake Forest: Norm Snead

Big 12:

Baylor: Mike Singletary

Utah: Steve Smith

Washington: Warren Moon...Danny Shelton will win this eventually, right?

Wash. St.: Drew Bledsoe

SEC:

Alabama: John Hannah

Arkansas: Dan Hampton

Auburn: Kevin Greene....better career...but for outright flash....gotta go Bo.

LSU: Alan Faneca...over YA Tittle?

Ole Miss: Eli Manning

Miss. St.: Kent Hull

Missouri: Justin Smith

South Carolina: John Abraham

Tennessee: Peyton Manning

Texas A&M: Richmond Webb

Vanderbilt: Jay Cutler

I am also going to add the American Conf. schools here too, plus a few others:

BYU: Steve Young

Cincinnati: Trent Cole

Connecticut: Will Beatty

Memphis: Isaac Bruce

Temple: Joe Klecko

South Florida: Anthony Henry

Houston: Simon Fletcher....since all the big name QBs from there busted out: Klingler, Andre Ware etc.

SMU: Eric Dickerson

Central Florida: Dante Culpepper

East Carolina: Ernest Byner

Tulane: Richie Pettibone

Tulsa: Steve Largent

Army: Bob Mischak

Navy: Roger Staubach

Let me know if you have any arguments about these being the "best" NFL player produced by each school. I know that I see a few right off the bat.

PFR measures productivy, not necessarily "best". The "Weighted PFR" is more about a sustained career peak.

I dont think Oklahoma thinks of Troy Aikman as one of their own since he left and starred at UCLA.
