Exclamation Best NFL players from ACC Schools?
Let's not limit ourselves to the NFL Hall of Fame... who are the best from your school?

I'll start. From Va Tech, in addition to Bruce Smith (HOF), I'd add Carol Dale, Don Strock, Michael Vick, Tony Paige, and Antonia Freeman.

Donovan McNabb, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, Art Monk, Joe Morris, Ernie Davis, Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Jim Ringo, Larry Csonka, John Mackey, Keith Bulluck, Tebucky Jones and Daryl Johnston.

Mike Williams has played well when he hasn't been injured.

Ernie Davis didn't get the chance to play in the NFL, but it's safe to assume he'd have fared pretty well. Plus his jersey was retired by the Browns.

Those are probably the most famous.

I would add Tebucky Jones and maybe Chandler Jones. I think he is going to be great, but thats a great list

I'll add Tebucky. He's got a ring, and was a first round pick.

Hopefully Chandler can be, one day, added to the list. There are a good amount of people pegging Delone Carter to have a breakout year as a soph with the Colts. Arthur Jones had a solid second season with the Ravens. Those 3 could be headed for nice NFL careers.

AtlanticLeague, let's see if we can't help you out here:

Randy White (NFL HOF), Kris Jenkins (4X Pro Bowl), Shawn Merriman (3X Pro Bowl), Frank Wycheck (3x Pro Bowl)

If you don't at least get these guys, we may have to send you back to College Park.

Fred Biletnikoff, Deion Sanders, Leroy Butler, Terrell Buckley, Derrick Brooks, Brad Johnson, Marvin Jones, Warrick Dunn, Dexter Jackson, Samari Rolle, Darnell Dockett, Walter Jones, Anquan Boldin, Peter Boulware, Zack Crockett, Antonio Cromartie, Sebastian Janikowski, Bryant McFadden, Leon Washington, Lawrence Dawsey, Rohn Stark, Edgar Bennett, Kamerion Wimbley, Lawrence Timmons, Graham Gano

Some of those are HOF caliber. Some are really good but not HOF level. Some of them are just "solid." *shrug*

How about Rob Konrad. I know there are a lot more, just in the last 10 years but my mind is blank.

Yes, we need some Miami fans over here, as well as some BC fans besides BCEagle, and more Clemson fans, especially some who actually like being in the Acc 03-lmfao.
And a few more BC and maryland and State fans.
