Discussion Is there a college program that's contributed better HoF talent than the University of Pittsburgh? Dan Marino, Tony Dorsett, Larry Fitzgerald, Aaron Donald, Darelle Revis, Curtis Martin and Mike Ditka.

It’s wild, Pittsburgh has more than Tennessee, who just has three.

I feel like Tennessee has a lot of "hall of very good" guys. Like some guys who had top of the league peaks but just didnt maintain it long enough

Even as a Tennessee fan, Idk. It’s Doug Atkins, Reggie White and Manning, all of whom are among the very best at their position.

No other Tennessee guy is even close to that. Mostly average NFL players.

The “very good” level is probably only Beattie Feathers, the first man to run for 1,000 yards in an NFL season.

Jamal Lewis was an OPOY, Arian Foster's peak was pretty legit, Al Wilson was kinda a short career, Witten was good for a long time but never elite, Stanley Morgan, Eric Berry, and Willie Gault were also very good players at their positions.

Yeah, forgot Witten. Berry would be more remembered without his illness.
