Will Wolford — Vanderbilt (SEC) (1982-1985)
Unfortunately, Vanderbilt does not have much NFL legacy, but offensive lineman Will Wolford is our pick as the best from the program. He played all four years at Vandy, including starting in 33 consecutive games from the time he was a sophomore to when he was a senior. In addition, he was named first-team All-SEC back in 1985. He was drafted in the first round by the Buffalo Bills in the 1986 NFL Draft, played in three straight Super Bowls with the team, and was a three-time Pro Bowler and an All-Pro.

Ronde Barber — Virginia (ACC) (1994-1996)
Edging out Tiki Barber, his own twin brother, by a narrow margin, Ronde Barber gets the nod as the best football player to ever come from Virginia. In college, Ronde Barber was outstanding as a defensive back, was a first-team All-ACC selection all three years that he started at Virginia, though he also returned kicks. He was picked in the third round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1997 NFL Draft, and he spent his entire career with the franchise, proving he should have been taken much higher. Barber helped the team win a Super Bowl back in 2003 and made five Pro Bowls and All-Pro teams. Aside from the Barber twins, other great Virginia players include Heath Miller and Bill Dudley.
