Von Miller — Texas A&M (SEC) (2007-2010)
Yale Lary may be the only Texas A&M Aggie Pro Football Hall of Famer so far, but Von Miller is our choice as the greatest player from the school since he will probably join him in Canton soon. While Miller was at Texas A&M, he was one of the most dominant linebackers in the nation, winning the Butkus Award back in 2010 and being a two-time first-team All-American. He was selected second overall in 2011 by the Denver Broncos and has been with the franchise his entire career so far. In 2016, he helped the team snag a Super Bowl win and was named the game’s MVP. In addition, Miller has been a seven-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro.

LaDainian Tomlinson — Texas Christian (Big 12) (1997-2000)
“Slingin’” Sammy Baugh makes a very good case as the greatest football player in the history of the TCU Horned Frogs, but he still takes second place to LaDainian Tomlinson, who came to the school around 60 years after him. From the jump, Tomlinson proved he was a stellar running back, being a unanimous All-American in 2000 and a two-time WAC Offensive Player of the Year (TCU played in the conference during Tomlinson’s era). In the 2001 NFL Draft, he was selected fifth overall by the San Diego Chargers, where he spent almost his entire career. Within 10 seasons in the NFL, Tomlinson was a five-time Pro Bowler, a six-time All-Pro and an NFL MVP.
