Deion Sanders — Florida State (ACC) (1985-1988)
With stars like Sebastian Janikowski, Derrick Brooks and Fred Biletnikoff, there have been many great Seminoles in football, though nobody touches “Neon” Deion Sanders. Sanders was a unanimous All-American selection twice while at Florida State, and he is now considered one of the greatest football cornerbacks ever, making both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame. In the NFL, he was a Defensive Player of the Year, won two Super Bowls, made eight Pro Bowls and was an eight-time first-team All-Pro as well. On top of all of that, he played baseball in MLB for nine seasons.
Champ Bailey — Georgia (SEC) (1996-1998)
In Georgia’s football history, there has been some incredible players in its program, and while it is hard to overlook Fran Tarkenton and Herschel Walker, Champ Bailey came to really define his position. While playing for the Bulldogs, Bailey was a three-way player but he earned consensus All-American status because of his work at cornerback. In the NFL, he was even more electrifying, being named to seven All-Pro teams and 12 Pro Bowls, while leading in interceptions once. Thanks to his dominant career, he became a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer in 2019.
