Vols In The Pros?

[mooreaj21]

Im arguing with a Gator fan about how many players each program has put in the pros, how many of those have been in the pro bowl, & where do we rank all time among putting players in the pros? Could someone help me out with this?

Doesn't matter, UT put a guy who will likely be known as the best QB ever into the NFL.

Is the argument present or all-time?

Both. Im trying to figure out how many Pro Bowlers each school has had all-time.

There was a show by the NFL network on the top 10 football factories of all time. UT was 10th. UF was not included.

It seems they mentioned the total number of pro-bowlers the teams included had, but I don't recall the number. That may take a little while to compile a list, but I'm fairly sure you'll win this argument.

I agree, but for arguments sake...... better than Montana, Elway etc.....

Needs at least one and probably two more rings to make that happen.

Emmit Smith is one of the best if not the best RB of all time, so he kinda balances out Payton. Not in MY mind, but you get what I'm saying.

Nah, Peyton is 100 times better than Emmit can't even compare the two really.

Agreed.

He also had the benefit of having one of the best O-lines.
