They’re gonna have a hard time with only 10 on offense.

A lot of those names are on that list because of what they did in the pros, not college. You can find better college careers than Roger Staughback.

Looks like some of those are getting credit for their pro careers. Jerry Rice and LT stand out in that regard. When someone says Jerry Rice, you think of his days with the 49ers. Same for LT. You don't think about his days with the Tarheels.

That's the last one that was missing.

Not really sure Staubach was the best QB the year he won the Heisman

Jim Brown was a solid choice, Hank Lauricella at TN should be up there as well.

This man abused QB's to the tune of 27 sacks in a season and 52 career overall sacks and didn't make the list

Pitt's all-time team is ridiculous when you consider the relative success of the program.

Marino, Dorsett, Fitzgerald, Ditka, Fralic, Green, Donald

Staubach is so overrated, boomers let their nostalgia cloud their vision. There are at least 15-20 QBs better than him

Yeah, I'm not going to argue for any other Bama player, but the lack of DT is awful. One of the most dominant defensive players in all of CFB history.

Did you watch Larry Fitzgerald play in college? What he did in college was unreal. And at the time, the Big East was a pretty good conference.
