I'll name a college and an NFL team, you name the best player in NFL history to play for that college and that pro team.
Example: Cal / Tampa Bay
Answer: Hardy Nickerson
Ground rules: there's a bit of gray area here, but I'm intending only to count players who are primarily associated with a particular team. For example, if I say Oklahoma State / Miami, I'm not looking for Thurman Thomas. (There really is no answer for that one, as no notable OSU Cowboys who played primarily for Miami). Also, I'm only counting the last college a guy went to. So if I say Oklahoma/Dallas, I'm not looking for Troy Aikman.
OK, here goes. I could be wrong on a few of these, but I think there won't be any debate about who the best player from this combo is. All of the answers are players who made pro bowls. No obscure guys.
As always, cheating is allowed for verification. But let non-cheaters guess it before you reveal illegally-obtained answers:
Stanford / Atlanta
Boston College / Buffalo
West Virginia / Buffalo
Texas / Chicago
Alabama / Cleveland
UNC / Colts
Michigan / Cardinals
Maryland / Dallas
Stanford / Dallas
Minnesota / Denver
Ohio State / Denver
Virginia / Detroit
Illinois / Green Bay
Alabama / Kansas City
Purdue / Miami
Arizona State / Minnesota
Georgia Tech / New Orleans
Alabama / New England
Florida State / Raiders
Arkansas / San Diego
Nebraska / San Francisco
Syracuse / Redskins
