Is there a better NFL duo from a school

As far as offense, I don't think anyone from Bama can be considered over John Hannah. Julio is great, but he's not going to be considered against Jerry Rice as the best WR ever. The only OL in NFL history who has an argument alongside Hannah is Bruce Matthews.

Hard to beat two guys considered "Mount Rushmore" guys for their position in Reggie and Peyton.

They are my #1 obviously. Here's one that is often overlooked:

Mississippi Valley State
Jerry Rice and Deacon Jones

Deacon attended when it was called Mississippi Vocational College, but linearly they are the same school.

Thats a #1 no-doubt all timer and top 5 defensive all timer(who coined the phrase "sack" before it was even an official stat) from a tiny school. Darn impressive

Amazing duo for a school that size. No clue Deacon went there. Thanks for sharing.

Bobby Boucher, Vick Vallencourt, Coach Klein, Lyle Robideaux, and Farmer Fran.......end of thread, go ahead and shut it down.

Kevin Greene and Bo Jackson from Auburn.


Edit: Not better than Reggie and Peyton but still a great duo.

I was at the Pro Football Hall of Fame this past summer and wondered the same thing.

Statistically, I think they are probably the top NFL duo from any one school.

Peyton: 5x NFL MVP, 14 Pro Bowls, some of the most significant offensive NFL records.
Reggie: 2x NFL Def POY, 13 Pro Bowls, some of the most significant defensive NFL records.

Also, future HOFer Witten has 10 pro bowls

Tom Brady and Charles Woodson?

Hardly. In 10 years neither of these guys will be in discussion of "greatest."

Eric Berry (and 50 other guys) better than Woodson.
Champ Bailey had better Off and Def stats than Woodson in 1997.
Woodson All-Pro only 3 times in 17 years.
Ronnie Lott, Deion and Ron Woodson: 6.
Ed Reed: 5
Bunch of DBs at 4.

Brady only has 2 NFL MVPs.
All-Pro only twice. [Vinatieri 3 times; Gronk 4]
This tells you all you need to know: Brady a good QB on a great team.
Never had worse than a top-10 D.
His college stats pedestrian. [Dobbs had 30 TDs as a Senior; Brady 30 in entire college career]
Not highly recruited.
Didn't start till Junior year.
Drafted 199 (6th round).

Manning is 5 time NFL MVP. [Only 3 players have 3: Unitas, Favre, Jim Brown.]
Manning 7 time All Pro - most among QBs. [Otto Graham had 7, when NFL had 12 teams.]
Unitas is next QB at 5.
Both Manning records are untouchable.
Only had 2 great Ds in 17 years.
Manning #1 HS recruit.
#1 Pick in NFL draft.
Started as a freshman in college.
Started immediately in NFL (on a 3-13 team).
3-1 v Brady in Championship Games
Has made more money than any football player in history.

Before you trot out Brady's 5-2 record in SBs and 4 SB MVPs:

> Defenses win Championships
> Belichick best HC since Lombardi.
> Belichick best D coach since Neyland.
> 100 people get SB rings every year
> SB MVP is a silly, one-game award.
> Kicker Vinitieri won 3 of the games and CB Butler won the 4th
> Tuck Rule
> Brady a convicted cheater in 2015 (Deflategate).
> Destroyed evidence. Lied.
> Suspended 4 games for cheating in 2016.
> Kraft paid $1,000,000 fine, lost #1 Draft Pick.
> Pats busted for cheating in 2007 (SpyGate).
> Kraft paid $250,000 fine. Lost #1 Draft Pick.

Ignoring these negatives, all you really have to know about Brady is only 2 MVPs and 2 All-Pros. In 17 years.

Reggie White was All-Pro 8 times.
Only Jim Otto and Jerry Rice (10), and Ron Mix and Anthony Munoz (9) have more.

The only way Brady isn’t in the discussion for greatest ever is if he’s so far in front of everyone it isn’t worth discussing.
