With very little more than baseball to keep us busy and the fun football facts features coming once per week let’s take a stroll through the conference looking at some of the current players in the NFL and who could possibly be the greatest NFL player from that school. We’ll start with the Baylor Bears.
Baylor currently has 9 players in the NFL on 9 different squads. Most notably are
In 12 NFL seasons Mike Singletary started 172 games and was named as an All-Pro eight times. He recorded 1,488 career tackles, 19 sacks and 7 interceptions. He was the defensive anchor for the 1985 World Championship team that destroyed
Singletary was drafted in the second round (38th overall pick) by the Bears in the 1981 draft. He was named to the All Decade Team for the 1980’s and elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. He’ll always be immortalized by his intense stare down of opposing offenses.

Not sure, but he definiutely ranks in the top two
Honestly I knew Mike came out of Baylor but don’t know of any others.
I can't believe
but you actually made me do a little research on this one. I didn’t want some Baylor great from like the 50s I didn’t know about showing up…and guess what
Not only is Mike Singletary the greatest Baylor player in the NFL…there really isn’t a #2. Seriously…I would be hard pressed to list a #2….any #2…and I looked.
A little research never hurt anyone
I’m seriously wondering what I’m going to do when I get to Iowa State
