Outside Linebacker 

A bit of a dilemma.  Only one school has produced two "pure"  OLBs that have made the HOF:

Penn St.  Jack Ham,  Dave Robinson

But two other schools have produced one pure OLB, and each had another listed at DE/OLB:

Pitt: Ricky Jackson and DE/LB Chris Doleman

North Carolina:  Lawrence Taylor and DE/LB Julius Peppers

So, what does one choose? The school with the two pure OLBs...or one of the schools with the hybrids?  

I think my choice is one with the hybrids....because of the quality of the players involved. The Choice:

North Carolina.

Either way you look at it, the state of Tennessee takes this cake:

Tennessee.....if you count Reggie White as a DE, he along with Doug Atkins would give the Vols the title here.

....but I don't.

So you have Tennessee State with: Richard Dent and Claude Humphrey  as the choice.

Only two schools are in competition here:

Ohio State:   Lou Groza, Jim Parker, Orlando Pace, all in HOF

USC: Ron Mix, Anthony Munoz, Ron Yary all in HOF

It is almost too close to call.   Since I gave a homer choice to OSU before, perhaps here I will go against them and go with USC...since Munoz may be considered the best LT of all time

I have found no school that has produced more than one HOF OG....or even has a second HOF hopeful. 

Bo Jackson

Joe Cribbs

James Brooks

Rudi Johnson

.....may have left some out.

Definitive Answer:  Two schools compete

Miami Fla.:  Cortez Kennedy and Warren Sapp

Boston College: Ernie Stautner and Art Donovan.

Only because the two Miami, Fla. guys are more recent...I guess the not goes to them.

There is one school that stands out as far as producing Hall of Fame Cornerbacks:

Southern University.    Produced both Mel Blount and Aeneas Williams.

Both were in Brandt's Top Ten QBs of all time.

Iowa:  Emlen Tunnell and  Paul Krause

USC:  Ronnie Lott and Willie Wood

Very hard for me to choose...from these.   Krause is all time leading interceptor, Lott was a hammer.   But, you know, when you put in Troy Polamalu, a likely HOF safety, it probably swings the vote for USC.

Definitive answers on  Offensive Center.    Again, there really is none.  No school has produced more than one HOF center.

However....Gil Brandt did his list of top 16 centers of all time, and  there is one school on there that has two players:

Wisconsin:   both Mike Webster and Travis Frederick (current Cowboys center.....though...could Brandt..ex Cowboys GM, be a little biased?  He also has Alex Mack on the top 16 ever. 

Wisconsin and their tradition of All American and NFL caliber linemen which contains to today.

UNC pass rushers Lawrence Taylor & Julius Peppers

Except, technically "pass rusher" is not a position.  A nose tackle is a pass rusher on pass plays.  Peppers is a DE where TAylor was an OLB.  I get where you are coming from, but if we are trying to specify positions....I guess we need to do that.

Whoever said above that it is Illinois with finger Butkus and Ray Nitschke is absolutely right.   This may be as slam dunk as any position on the field.

Edit:  OK now, this auto correct is going to far....when I can't even put in D-I-C-K Butkus's name without it being corrected.

However....Gil Brandt did his list of top 16 centers of all time, and  there is one school on there that has two players:

Wisconsin:   both Mike Webster and Travis Frederick (current Cowboys center.....though...could Brandt..ex Cowboys GM, be a little biased?  He also has Alex Mack on the top 16 ever. 

Notre Dame:  Casper; Pitt: Ditka; Syracuse: Mackey, Minnesota: Charlie Sanders,  Alabama: Ozzie;,  South Carolina: Shannon Sharpe;  NW Louisiana: Jackie Smith; Missouri,  Kellen Winslow;  Cal:  Tony Gonzales?;, Tennesse: Jason Witten?;   Kent State:  Antonio Gates?

? means not in HOF...but probable or potential.

Miami Fla.  has produced two pretty good ones:   Greg Olsen and Jeremy Shockey. 

 And you almost could have a time cutoff because as time goes on the number of pro teams got larger along with the explosion in number of players. For example the best before/after 1980? The older ones are already in the HOF if they're getting in.      Still a good topic.

There are really only 4 contenders who have produced as many as 2 HOF actual or potential WRs:

Ohio State:  Cris Carter, Paul Warfield, Dante Lavelli

Miami, Fla:  Michael Irvin, (Reggie Wayne)  (Andre Johnson)

Syracuse: Marvin Harrison, Art Monk

Florida State:  Fred Biletnikoff (Anquon Boldin)

( )  means not in but probable HOF

Very tough choice.  The homer in me wants to pick OSU...and it would be a good pick. So, sure, why not, go with the home choice.  But the others are perfectly legitimately arguable  (If Syracuse were chosen, it would have the top spot in two of these 3 categories!!)

Alabama:  Namath, Bart Starr, Ken Stabler

Purdue:  Len Dawson, Bob Griese, Drew Brees

Other schools to produce 2 HOF or certain HOF QBs:

UCLA:  Aikman and Bob Waterfield

Oregon: Dan Fouts and Norm Van Brocklin

Duke: Sonny Jurgenson and Ace Parker

Michigan:  Benny Friedman and Tom Brady

If you just go by who were the best two....you might have to consider Michigan.  No one here can doubt the credentials of Brady...but most may not know the quality of Friedman.  He was simply the best QB of his era....which was mid 20s to mid 30s. 

Someone mentioned Stanford and  Elway and Luck.....well...sorry....not so fast my friend.  Luck has a lot to go before he joins the elite QBs in history class.  This is, I assume a question of who were the actual best QBs based on totality of NFL careers.....not on potential. Luck still has a lot of unfulfilled potential...and the jury is out.

It is close between Syracuse and USC. These are the only 2 schools to produce 2 HOF RBs

Syracuse had Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, and Floyd Little....all HOF RBs

USC had OJ Simpson, Marcus Allen, and Frank Gifford. 

The edge goes to Syracuse....because they have Jim Brown.

Other schools to produce 2 HOF RBs...or potential HOF RBs..that could contend in the "who produced the best RB category"

Notre Dame: Paul Hornung and Jerome Bettis

Georgia: Terrell Davis and Charley Trippi

SMU: Eric Dickerson and Doak Walker

Pitt: Tony Dorsett and Curtis Martin

Penn St.: Franco Harris and Lenny Moore

Kansas: John Riggins and Gale Sayers

Oklahoma St. :  Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas

Miami: Edgerrin James and Frank Gore (both potential HOF)

In my opinion the duo of Sanders and Thomas could put OK St. in second place...if you just go by the best two.

As a group The U was a pretty prolific group:

• The Hurricanes once had a streak of 149 consecutive regular season weeks where a former Hurricane scored a touchdown in an NFL game; the streak started in Week 15 of the 2002 NFL regular season and ended in Week 11 of the 2011 season. During the streak, 33 different former Hurricanes scored touchdowns and a total of 661 touchdowns were scored.

Holy crap!

I have a feeling U of Miami can beat that, let's see...

... and you overlooked Ernie Davis, who broke all JB's record at Syracuse, but never had a chance to prove out at the pro level... plus...

Floyd Little... who broke all of Ernie Davis' records and went on to a HoF career in Denver.

I started by just naming the best two RBs from Syracuse, I would have included Little too. Davis never played in the NFL, so he wouldn't have made the list.
