Fletcher Cox — Mississippi State (SEC) (2009-2011)
Eric Moulds may have had a strong career and Dak Prescott seems like he is not done yet with establishing his own legacy, but Fletcher Cox is our pick for the best football player to ever come from Mississippi State. With the Bulldogs, Cox was an outstanding defensive tackle and was an All-SEC selection in 2011 and a first-team All-American. In the NFL Draft in 2012, Cox was the 12th overall pick and has been with the Philadelphia Eagles so far. He has been a four-time Pro Bowler and a four-time All-Pro selection and was part of his team’s 2018 Super Bowl win.

Roger Wehrli — Missouri (SEC) (1966-1968)
It is a toss-up between Kellen Winslow and Roger Wehrli if you pick the best Mizzou Tiger in history. We Wehrli gets the nod because, ultimately, he had more Pro-Bowl and All-Pro selections. In addition, he played his whole football career, college and pro, in the Show-Me State. He was cornerback at Missouri and a consensus All-American in 1968. From there, Wehrli went on to play for the then-St. Louis Cardinals his entire NFL career, carving out a Hall-of-Fame career. Also, he made seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro teams, including five first-team picks.
