I did a similar post on that "other site" years ago, and thought I would try this again. Which college conference boasts the best offensive/special teams starting lineup in the NFL? I will take a stab at the Big 10 to start this off ...

BIG 10

QB - Tom Brady (backup Drew Brees)
RB- Rashard Mendenhall
WR- Santonio Holmes
WR- Mario Manningham
TE- Dallas Clark
K - Nate Kaeding
KR - Ted Ginn


Not bad, although the dropoff after Mendenhall is steep, and receivers could be better ... I am probably forgetting someone big, but I am bored and just rushed through this ... who else??

Wr Brandon Lloyd
Wr-Derrick Mason
Wr Braylon Edwards
Wr Lee Evans
RB- Pierre Thomas
RB- Shone Greene
RB- Marion Barber

Other Rbs/Wr's

RB- Pierre Thomas Saints, Shonn Greene Jets, Marion Barber Cowboys
WR- Braylon Edwards Jets, Derrick Mason Ravens,


Didn't see your post HB we were going the same route.

QB-Tom Brady, Drew Brees
RB- Rashard Mendenhall, Shonn Greene
Wr-Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, Brandon Lloyd, Steve Breaston, Lee Evans, Derrick Mason
TE-Dallas Clark, Owen Daniels

OT-Joe Thomas, Jake Long
OG- Robert Gallery, Steve Hutchison (probably forgetting quite a few good Guards, cant think of any else)
C- Nick Mangold

K-Robbie Gould,Nate Kaeding
Kr-Tedd Ginn,Steve Breaston

I would add Kris Dielman for offensive guard Chargers. Played at Indiana. Undrafted now he is a 4X All Pro.

Anyone want to take a stab at the other conferences?

Steinbach went to Iowa didn't he? OG

Moeaki is the next stud at TE.

Jeff Backus (probably a little old now but I don't think he's missed a start in like 10 yrs) OT
