Peyton Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Alright we are going to see who knows there stuff today, or at least who the best googler is lol:The Falcons once drafted players from the same college at the same position in consecutive years.The first player was drafted later than round 6. He started 5 games in his rookie year and accomplished very little, but went on to start 114 games in his career after that, and had a very nice career. He is well remembered by Falcons fans.The second player was drafted earlier than round 3. He started all 16 games in his rookie year and was considered the best rookie in the league at his position. He started only 9 games in the remainder of his career. He is remembered as a bust by Falcons fans if they remember him at all.Name the two players and the college they attended.

Peyton Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Ok, I'll go ahead and give a hint. Two hints. They played an offensive position. The University they attended is not exactly a football power house. They are probably the only two players from tht college ever drafted by the Falcons, although I am not certain about that.

Peyton Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 I am sure he is using pro football reference. He'll get it eventually using that. It's the reason I didn't give the exact rounds, to make it a little more difficult, would have been too easy if I gave the rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
