    Interesting topic especially the 1999 NFL Draft who could forget 1.Tim Couch 2. Donovan McNabb?

    And in 1995 or 1996 (?) when Air McNair out of Alcorn State was so hot and in the 1-AA playoffs at Youngstown State ESPN picked up the game nationally and YSU went on and buried Alcorn and McNair. ....in all fairness McNair was hobbled by a bad leg but YSU had a championship caliber team.

    .....edit add it was Nov. 25, 1994 before McNair graduated, The final score was Youngstown State 63, Alcorn State -- one is tempted to simply write McNair -- 20, in this first-round game of the Division I-AA playoffs in Stambaugh Stadium on the Youngstown campus and before a record crowd of 17,795.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    I also remember #12 well Jim Plunkett out of Stanford of Mexican-American parents with visionary problems, the reason I remember it was they were about 17 point underdogs in the Rose Bowl against Woody and The Ohio State University and beat them! Good guy.

    OK, I must have missed them in my research. And I think it is because McNair was actually drafted by the Houston Oilers before they became the Tennessee Tits. My eye did not catch that and my brain did not put it together.

    Alcorn was known as A&M before it became "State". And that is not the only school to do that: Oklahoma St. won two National Championships in basketball as Oklahoma A&M. LSU is the same.

    # If you include "people of color" and not just AA you can also add Marcus Mariota to the Tits roster

    Also, The Bengals took Akili Smith, and previously Jack Thompson "The Throwin' Samoan"
