Heres one with more research and ideas

Although Tebow is a great player and symbol for UF, there have been other great players:

A guy named Emmitt Smith 1987-89. Wes Freaking Chandler who remains as the highest drafted WR in SEC history, a third overall pick after he played qb & rb also in a wishbone offense from 1974-79...the most gifted WR Ive ever seen...but played for an offense that didnt believe in passing the ball....and went to the hapless Saints for a few years before finally getting a lot more notice with San Diego. Defensively we had DE Jack Youngblood of the late sixties who played for Rams and was unstoppable...he even played with broken leg. Also had safety Louis Oliver a walk on AA Academic and football star who was drafted in first round by Dolphins along with S/DB team mate Jarvis Williams (2nd round) who wrecked havoc in the SEC in the mid to late 1980s.

Bama has Cornelius Bennett & Lee Roy Jordan who were beasts, UGA had DE Bill Stanfil and safety Jake Scott, who played in NFL late 1960s-70s. UGA had David Pollack and Ben Zambiasi....Richard Tardits, Bill Goldberg, and Hines Ward werent native sons. LSU had Jerry Stovall, Pat Screen, Billy Masters (or LeMasters?) from the 1960s....too many from out of state.
AU? I gave up...too many great players from out of state,
Kentucky had Rodger Bird who I remember carried the team back in the mid sixties...was safety in the pros but played everywhere for UK...RB, WR etc etc

Just a little history.
