QSouth89 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) The list would be way too long to name everyone, so I'll just go with players that were born in Tennessee, and are either currently playing in the NFL, or played in the NFL in the past. 52 Willis, Patrick LB 6-1 240 1985-01-25 Bruceton, TN Mississippi San Francisco 49ers Thomas, Sloan WR 6-1 205 1981-12-22 Calrksville, TN Texas Seattle Seahawks 27 Bullocks, Daniel S 6-0 212 1983-02-28 Chattanooga, TN Nebraska Detroit Lions 36 Bullocks, Josh S 6-0 207 1983-02-28 Chattanooga, TN Nebraska Chicago Bears 97 Brown, Tony DT 6-3 305 1980-09-29 Chattanooga, TN Memphis Tennessee Titans 74 Sands, Terdell DT 6-7 335 1979-10-31 Chattanooga, TN Chattanooga New England Patriots Jones, Onrea WR 6-0 202 1983-12-22 Clarksville, TN Hampton Washington Redskins 96 Divens, Lamar DT 6-3 343 1985-11-12 Fayetteville, TN Tennessee State Baltimore Ravens 73 Foster, Ramon OT 6-6 325 1986-01-07 Henning, TN Tennessee Pittsburgh Steelers 33 Greer, Jabari CB 5-11 180 1982-02-11 Jackson, TN Tennessee New Orleans Saints 75 Hicks, Artis G 6-4 318 1978-11-28 Jackson, TN Memphis Washington Redskins 64 Grove, Jake C 6-4 300 1980- 64 Grove, Jake C 6-4 300 1980-01-22 Johnson City, TN Virginia Tech Miami Dolphins 92 Franklin, Aubrayo DT 6-1 317 1980-08-27 Johnson City, TN Tennessee San Francisco 49ers 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.

rgiii Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
