True. But how many went on to really contribute much in the NFL besides being journeymen?
Not many, but how many NFL players really make that kind of difference? From a given class, maybe a few - even from the best classes.
I get what you are saying - they never became household names. But that doesn't mean that the class was over-rated. 20 were NFL caliber, so they were great players. IMO, their horrible circumstances at FL put them in a horrible position. If that team had a stable coaching staff, they could easily have won a national championship and become household names. But they were no so fortunate, and once you get to the NFL, all bets are off.
