This shows my age. Don't know a ton. I basically named people i could think of who played in my life time. Lots of QBs and Linemen have come from the MAC. Will let people on here who know more give it a crack.

KSU-Lambert
BG- Bernie Casey? IDK, they had a guy who was a great LB but his name escapes me
EMU- I'll go with Batch
UT- tough one. Triplett or Kaczur or Curtis Johnson oran argument could be made for our punter, who's name is eluding me in the afterglow of the men's demolition of a bad, lower division team.
WMU had the defensive guy who just used to kill us. Names, names, names....
Akron also had a great D end although I'm not sure if that was during their MAC years. Played for the Dolphins.
Central I'll go with their #1 pick from two years ago.
Miami- Carpenter might have been the best I recall in the MAC games and he had a nice career with the Oilers, maybe others. Seems like Sherm Smith was pretty good in the NFL but Ben R has to be #1.
OU- blank
BSU- blank
NIU- Turner?
Buffalo- Starks
RE: MAC History: Best player - Henry Burlingame - 11-14-2015 06:48 PM
Akron: Jason Taylor (all time). Taylor was the MAC defensive player of the year his senior year.

I believe you're thinking of Jason Babin.

Yep. You guys are good.

Fisher is a fine Olineman for the chiefs, but Antonio Brow led the league in receiving last season and is doing it again this year. 2 years in a row as the best WR in the game, trumps a non probowl Olineman. Brown is CMU's bread and butter player.

Don't follow NFL but now that you mrntion it, WMU has a pretty good receiver for ...Packers maybe. Don't remember Brown. Was he there when LeFeouieuovreerer played?

The BG line backer you are thinking of is Phil Villapiano and I might give him the edge over Bernie Casey based on longevity if nothing else. I would go with Mel Triplett as all time best Rocket.
RE: MAC History: Best player - eastisbest - 11-14-2015 07:45 PM
Not knowing the league like most of you, I'm having a bit difficulty knowing who is nominated for best present and best all-time. Isn't there a defensive guy in the league right now from one of the Michigan directionals that is all-league or something close?

Bernie Casey gets the nod in best actor category.
RE: MAC History: Best player - northcoastRocket - 11-14-2015 09:53 PM
For UT, active player with the best NFL career is probably Lance Moore.
All Time. Let's see, Tunnel is a HOFer, but he was pre-MAC. If you eliminate him, I'd say pick-up among Triplett, Chester Taylor or Any McCollum. McCollum had a 14 year career. Oh, Curtis Johnson had pretty good career too.
RE: MAC History: Best player - Henry Burlingame - 11-14-2015 09:59 PM
WMU: John Offerdahl (all time). 5 time Pro Bowl Player for the Dolphins. Linebacker, I believe. He has got a string of popular bagel/coffee shops in South Florida. Kind of like Barry Bagel.
RE: MAC History: Best player - northcoastRocket - 11-14-2015 10:00 PM
For other schools, let's see.
WMU current is probably Greg Jennings.
EMU, LJ Shelton is right up there with Batch for all-time. Present is probably TJ Lang.
CMU currently has OLers Staley and Fisher, Staley has the better career so far.
NIU right now, Larry English maybe? All-time?
RE: MAC History: Best player - northcoastRocket - 11-14-2015 10:01 PM
Oh, KSU currently is Anthony Gates ... but I'm not sure if he ever played FB for KSU, so then Julian Edelman probably.
RE: MAC History: Best player - Henry Burlingame - 11-14-2015 10:05 PM
This is an interesting topic. The MAC has turned out a lot of good NFL QBs, but not so much for running backs, at least that I can think of. There's Michael Turner, who has probably had the best NFL career out of the MAC. Then Chester Taylor. After that, I can't think of anyone special. Maybe there's someone obvious I'm missing, but Turner and Chester are the top two that come to mind.
MAC History: Best player - BDV27 - 11-14-2015 10:42 PM
Ball State - Bernie Parmele (Jets & Dolphins) Blaine Bishop ( All Pro safety with Titans)
MAC History: Best player - BDV27 - 11-14-2015 10:45 PM
CMU current player Antonio Brown may be one of the best all time MAC player in NFL
