Tedy Bruschi — University Of Arizona (Pac-12) (1991-1995)

The history of the Arizona Wildcats includes defensive standouts, such as “Scooby” Wright, the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2014. But Tedy Bruschi, the winner of that honor in 1995, gets the crown for being the best player to come from the school. At University Of Arizona, he was definitely a sack machine with 52 sacks during his career in the NCAA, though no record was set since the stat was not officially counted at that time. Bruschi joined the New England Patriots and became a legend, winning three Super Bowls.

Terrell Suggs — Arizona State (Pac-12) (2000-2002)

Terrell “T-Sizzle” Suggs was another legendary pass rusher both in college and the NFL. He is the best ever football player that the Arizona State Sun Devils have produced, topping the incredible careers of Pat Tillman and Eric Allen. Suggs was a three-time All-American while at ASU, which include being a unanimous pick back in 2002, the year that he broke the single-season sack record in the NCAA with 24 (he still holds the record). Suggs has had an NFL career that is Hall-of-Fame-caliber, being named the 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and winning a Super Bowl while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. He has also made seven Pro Bowls and is a two-time All-Pro.
