Brandon Jacobs

He was 3rd string behind Cadillac and Ronnie Brown in 2003. Then transferred to Southern Illinois for playing time before a solid 5 year run with the NY Giants.

I had no idea Kevin Greene went to Auburn. To be honest I just remember him mostly from his cameo on Monday Night Nitro when I was a kid. That got me thinking, there must be others like that.

For Ole Miss, I don't think people realize Mike Wallace was a two year starter. Granted one of his years Seth Adams was our QB, but still. Dude came into his own the later part of 2008


Sorry, but most people know all of the greats who went to Tennessee.

Obviously you should have been speaking to Packer fans, bet 3 out of 4 would have known this.

It's hard for LSU to pick one.
I would say Brain Wilson though.

This is a really random one, but I drafted Rob Bironas in fantasy football a few years ago and a buddy told me he went to Auburn.
I never really payed attention to the kickers as a kid

Not a player and not my team but how many of you knew Casey Stengel was once the head baseball coach at Ole Miss?

I bet many younger folks (let's say 25 and under) might not know that Garrison Hearst and Terrell Davis both went to UGA.

Most of the other big name NFL guys (as of late anyway) that have done well for us are typically known as being from here.

I don't think enough people know Allen Houston went to Tennessee.

Others that come to mind are Eric Moulds went to State, or Peyton Hillis at Arkansas.
