Kellen Winslow Sr.
Brad Smith

John Anderson (ESPN Anchor)
Roger Wehrli

ETA: Probably Justin Smith over John Anderson the way he's played 10 years into his NFL career.

From Auburn:
1) Bo Jackson
2) Charles Barkley
3) Tim Hudson
4) Pat Sullivan
5) Shug Jordan (lettered in football, basketball and baseball and was voted most outstanding athlete in 1932)

If you disqualify 5 then I'll say
5a) Cam Newton
5b) Cadillac Williams
5c) Ronnie Brown

For Alabama, Harry Gilmer. Yeah he's 80 something, but look up his accomplishments while at the Capstone. Still holds the UA record for most career touchdowns, and he only played 3 years back in the 40s.

1. E. King Gill (inspiration for the 12th man
2. Dat Nguyen
3. Von
4. Gene Stallings
5. Acie Law among younger alumni. Put A&M basketball somewhat on the map.

I would have John David Crow somewhere on the list. He is A&M's (and Bear Bryant's) only Heisman winner. Of course, my dad likes to remind me that my college and his hometown both have 1 Heisman winner... same guy. I got his autograph on my old personalized Louisiana license plate "Aggie" last year. (Cool story bro)

You don't know who Von Miller, Dat Nguyen and Acie Law are...?

Yeah I left Crow off by accident. None of our athletes have really gone on to full fledged superstardom professionally, but I think Von Miller will change that. If you follow the NFL and don't know who he is, well then you're lying about following the NFL.

I would also be surprised people don't know Acie Law if you follow basketball. He was 1st team AA and a lottery pick in 06-07 but never caught on in the NBA.

Nguyen I can maybe understand for younger people, won the Bednarik Award (amongst many other awards) for D POY in 98 and was very solid with the Cowboys before retiring because of injuries. He's put above other guys here also because of his story and size.
