Gunz41 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Been thinking about this, which school has produced the best talent at each position? Has to have more than 1 example (ex. Jim Brown best RB ever, but not another one I can think of from Syracuse) Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Syracuse produced many fantastic RBs beyond Jim Brown, Ernie Davis (who died from Leukemia after the Browns traded for him), Larry Csonka, Floyd Little and Joe Morris. Penn State was known for their LBs, U of Miami has produced a ton of players at every position, Wisconsin seems to do well with OLineman, Ohio State does well with CBs....

Gunz41 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 My point was the school who has produced the 2 or more best players by position. Jim Brown being great, but the next dont hold up to others schools top 2. I'll start it, and feel free to disagree.

I was thinking that too. Oklahoma State has Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas, but Brown and Csonka probably trumps them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the thing, some schools can rattle off a huge list. I like limiting it to the top 2 at every position. Quality over quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Pretty good Buckeye WR trio in Chris Carter, Paul Warfield and Dante Lavelli... all in the HoF.
