CFB Rankings With NFL Alum

Often times college football fans and alum watch the NFL and keep tabs on their favorite college players. One of the great bar debate questions is "which college has produced the best NFL players"?

Below is a ranking of colleges with offensive playmakers only. 

NOTE: The players included in this list only include QB, RB, WR, TE. Only teams with all three skill positions can qualify for the rankings, but teams including two of three were included as honorable mention. 

Honorable Mention:

LSU: 

QB  Zach Mettenberger, Matt Flynn

RB: Jeremy Hill, Alfred Blue, Stevan Ridley

WR: Jarvis Landry Odell Beckum Jr, Dwayne Bowe, Branden Lafell, Rueben Randle

In 2014, Hill and Blue became first rookie college teammates to run for 150 yards in the same day. Odell Beckum, despite missing most of training camp, proved to be one of the best WRs in all of football. Mettenberger gained quality starting experience and Flynn has similar experience. Either QB could successfully serve as a game-manager with these weapons. 

Alabama: 

QB - AJ McCarron

RB - Mark Ingram, Eddie Lacy, Trent Richardson

WR - Julio Jones

For the team with as much swagger as Alabama, and for a school that continues to win championships and always ranked near #1, the school has not produced an overwhelming number of offensive players. Defense is another story.

Auburn:
Cam

Ben Tate, Tre Mason

Auburn deserves honorable mention for Cam Newton and Tre Mason, who had an excellent rookie season in 2014. By the end of 2015, Auburn will be eligible for this list with WR Sammie Coates entering the league.

Ole Miss:
Eli

Brandon Bolden, Dexter McCluster

Mike Wallace, Donte Moncreif

Ole Miss is ranked low due to their un-inspiring running backs. But Moncreif is an improving young player and Wallace has proven to be reliable in the past.

Maryland:
Vernon Davis, DHB, Torrey Smith

Penn St: 
Mat McGloin
Allen Robinson, Andrew Quartless, Jordan Norwood

South Carolina:

QB: Connor Shaw
WR: Alshon Jeffery, Bruce Ellington, Ace Sanders, Jared Cook

Shaw started week 17 for Cleveland and the Gamecocks have no active running backs in the NFL.

Texas Tech: 

Wes Welker, Michael Crabtree Danny Amendola, Jace Amaro

Tech has never been known for running the football and their best QBs of the last 10-15 years have been considered "system QBs". Graham Harrell is the best but he never panned out in the NFL.
