The Kansas State Wildcats have currently placed 27 players on NFL rosters. Among those are notables like
This could turnout to be one of the more controversial posts in this series but with all due respect to former greats Lynn Dickey and Steve Grogan, I believe that the greatest Wildcat to play in the NFL is still currently on a roster. No, it isn’t Darren Sproles (although he deserves consideration) it’s Martín Gramática. Oh let the controversy begin!
Gramática was a two-time All American for
Gramática was a Pro Bowl selection in 2000 and was on the winning side of Super Bowl XXXVII with the Buccaneers. Over the course of his career he has made good on 155 of his 203 field goal attempts (76.4%). Twice (2000 and 2002) he had five field goals of fifty yards or more in a season. Quite possibly one of the most annoying players of all time, Martín Gramática is in my opinion the greatest Wildcat to play in the NFL.

I was fortunate to witness the 65 yard field goal he kicked in college...
He was booting 70-yarders during practice. The wind must have been just right that day.
I think Martin may hold the K-State career record for points. I haven’t followed his pro career all that much, but I don’t have a problem with him being K-State’s greatest NFL player.
Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight
Hail Alma Mater from sea to sea
Onward forever, Hail Victory!
that kicker twit? the one who hurt himself taunting the other team?
Over Lynn Dickey and Steve Grogan? steve Grogan had a very long and successful career, with a Super Bowl appearance. You are either out of your mind or you are teasing your KSU chums by saying their best pro was a kicker. If that’s the case, Bravo!
I told ya that this one would be controversial
Grogan actually would have been my second choice, ahead of Dicky, and got some serious consideration. The determining factors for me was that Gramática won a Super Bowl and Grogan’s TD/INT ration was 182 scores to 208 picks.
You forgot about....
….Darren Howard. The DE has had a pretty productive career with the Saints and Eagles.
So looked this up
and besides the fact that it’s a kicker..I can’t argue this pick. Gramática has a good long career (nice to be a kicker). I like Grogan, but his career height was very short, even given his length. But I don’t like Grogan enough to say this is the guy for K-State in the NFL.
