I pulled up this list with all these names on it from a quick 2 minute google search.A simple copy and paste effort from me. I'm sure it's potentially missing some important names on it, as well as lesser known NFL players that ever made a NFL roster in the past. Feel free to add to the list, and to correct any of my mistakes. 

Harrison Smith Safety, Minnesota Vikings, first round draft pick,  Played at Knoxville Catholic and Notre Dame. Has been a starter since his rookie year.  Randall Cobb Alcoa, Kentucky.  Signed a lucrative contract with Green Bay.

Reggie White

John Majors told us Reggie White was the second best player he he has ever coached the first was Tony Dorsett when he was at Pitt.Majors coached alot of great players for him to say that about White you have to believe be was the best EVER to come out of our state.

[rgiii]

The obvious best two are Reggie White and John Hannah. To be considered the best ever at your position in the Nfl says it all.
