Aaron Rodgers — California (Pac-12) (2003-2004)

In recent years, Cal has produced a lot of great football players, including Keenan Allen, Jared Goff and Marshawn Lynch, but Aaron Rodgers tops all of them. He started playing college football for a community college, but Rodgers transferred to Cal, where he played for two great years and set a number of school records for passing. He has been nothing but historic in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl, making seven Pro Bowls and being named NFL MVP twice. In addition, he holds a number of all-time records for NFL quarterbacks, including the lowest career interception percentage and highest career passer rating.

Troy Aikman — UCLA (Pac-12) (1986-1989)

While several NFL standouts have come out of UCLA, including Jimmy Johnson and Jonathan Ogden, the best Bruin ever has got to be Troy Aikman. He started his college football career at Oklahoma before he transferred and played two seasons at UCLA, winning several prestigious awards and eventually getting inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. In the 1990s, he was the leader of the Dallas Cowboys dynasty, making six Pro Bowls and winning three Super Bowls and an NFL Man of the Year Award. He made it to the Pro Football Hall of Famer on the first ballot.
