was the most UNDERATED or Under Performed in college,
but is a MAJOR STAR now in the NFL?
I mean, it is not cool to see a heisman winner from USC who went to a national level high school become a star
but take a kid from no where high, to some little directional school to become a walk on/free agent in the NFL
then BLOWS THE DOORS OFF!
I know that Kurt Warner has a story like this... but any others?

<< <i>How about Tom Brady? >>
6th round draft choice I believe. Who could have ever figured.......? Amazing story.
<< <i>How about Tom Brady? >>
Michigan is such an unlikely place for a star to be born.
Tony Romo has a shot. How about Terrell Owens? Both were from D1-AA schools (as was Jerry Rice).
And no, I'm not a Cowboys fan, but these were the first two names to come to mind as D1-AA players no one had heard of in college becoming NFL stars.
<< <i>Tony Romo has a shot. How about Terrell Owens? Both were from D1-AA schools. >>
romo is a pretty good one. he did play d1-aa but was a superstar in that division. Terrell was less known in college
I was actually thinking about Brett Favre (little respect at Southern Miss, and even first year at Falcons)
or
Terry Bradshaw who played at a little school (Louisana Tech) then became pretty good in the pros.
others?
Never started in college, and was undrafted.
Kurt Warner was bagging groceries-----to------Super Bowl Winner. So unless anyone can claim better...............

Antonio Gates - undrafted basketball player from Kent State
Priest Holmes - undrafted running back from Texas (Ricky Williams got all the press there)
Adam Vinatieri - undrafted from that powerhouse South Dakota State University
<< <i>(Ricky Williams got all the press there) >>
What do you mean? Priest got a lot of love and was gone by the time Ricky really started to shine.
OT- slightly, A friend of mine that is heavy into Dodger stuff has a scouting report sheet on Roberto Clemente. I'll paraphase what i remember seeing--- " Small frame, excellent speed, not much power, 60-80 rbi's max." A little off you think??
Great answer !!!!
Ok. I’m done reading old threads.

The best part is I posted that and he lost the Super Bowl that year but went on to have a second half of his career that was HOF worthy as well
John Randle and Adam Thielen.
