Lance Alworth — Arkansas (SEC) (1959-1961)
Former Razorbacks Darren McFadden and Dan Hampton went on to have impressive football careers, but Lance Alworth is the only player from Arkansas who has been inducted into both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame so far. In the 1960s, Alworth played brilliantly as a wide receiver for the AFL’s San Diego Chargers and won a championship there before he played for the Dallas Cowboys and eventually won a Super Bowl in 1972. He is one of the greatest players in the history of the AFL, having been a seven-time AFL All-Star and a six-time All-AFL. In addition, he led the league in receiving yards for three different seasons.

Bo Jackson — Auburn (SEC) (1982-1985)
While it is a really tough call to pick between Cam Newton and Bo Jackson, Jackson gets the nod owing to his stellar career at Auburn and his mythical accomplishments. In college, he was averaging 6.6 yards per carry, setting the all-time record in the SEC, and was a star player for Auburn’s track and field and baseball teams. He played in the NFL for only four seasons but he made a Pro Bowl. He also played baseball in the MLB for nine seasons, which makes his career one of the most unique in sports history.
