SEC players with better NFL careers than college

I always watched SEC football growing up, but since my team wasn't in the conference I never really followed it closely. So when I heard on the radio that Terrell Davis played ball at Georgia, I was surprised. I have no recollection of him playing there. Googled and found that he was a transfer, injury probs, etc. and put up decent numbers, but nothing special, in the '93 season.
Turned into one of the great NFL RBs. Maybe not HOF because of his short career, but some of the greatest numbers put up in a small amount of time.
So help me out. What other SEC players had a much better NFL career than college?
From A&M I guess you could say Jack Pardee. He was an All American LB in the Junction Boys days, but he is known much better for his work in the NFL. Probably not the best example, but the first to come to mind. I'm sure I'm missing an obvious one.

Reuben Randle, mainly because he didn't have anyone to throw to him in college.

3 things slowed down Terrell at UGA
1) nagging injuries
2) fumbleitis
3) A retard for a head coach

And he does now? Mr. INT? Kid is fast and big with good hands. No clue why Eli cant get him the ball. Its frustrating.

Jury is probably still out on this one though. Could have JFF handing the ball to him next season.

We're quick learners.
We'll be fine.

Off the top of my head:
Arian Foster (UT)
Derrick Ramsey (UK)
Here is one for you...Pat Ryan. In his 3 years at UT, he completed 31 passes for 405 yards, 1 TD and 5 interceptions. Best known for being Jimmy Streater's backup, he played 14 seasons for the New York Jets. Sure, he only started 19 games in his 14 seasons in the NFL...but I don't think he started any in college. He was drafted in the 11th round...and he was on a roster for over a decade...
