Best Players From The Pac-12

There are always stupid ways to pass the NFL offseason. Here's one of them. The best players in the NFL from each of the Pac-12 schools.

Cal
Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
-This is an easy one. Rodgers is the best quarterback in the game,

Stanford
Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts
-This is an easy one as well. Luck is the heir to Rodgers as the best quarterback in the game. Some might have him there already.

USC
Tyron Smith, T, Dallas Cowboys
-I'd prefer to hand this one to Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen. I can't. Smith is arguably the best left tackle in the game. That's pretty big.

UCLA
Anthony Barr, LB, Minnesota Vikings
-This is as much about the UCLA players currently in the league as Barr's terrific play as a rookie. His ceiling is so high.

Arizona 
Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots
-Gronkowski is such an east coast fixture that it's easy to forget that he went to Arizona. Like Rodgers and Luck this is an easy choice.

Arizona St.
Terrell Suggs, LB, Baltimore Ravens
-It might be a few years since Suggs was Defensive Player of the Year but he's still an impact pass rusher.

Utah
Eric Weddle, S, San Diego Chargers
-Weddle has gotten better each year that he's been in the league. Now, he's one of the best at his position.

Colorado
Nate Solder, T, New England Patriots
-Well, he's the blind side protector for Tom Brady. That's important. It's between Solder, David Bakhtiari, Jimmy Williams, and Mason Crosby. Solder gets the nod.

Washington
Desmond Trufant, CB, Atlanta Falcons
-Trufant is a corner on the rise. He should have competition for the Huskies title in coming years from Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Danny Shelton, Shaq Thompson, and Marcus Peters.

Washington St.
Deone Bucannon, S, Washington St.
-It's actually a bit early for Bucannon but he doesn't have much competition. He's got the potential to be a terrific player in a very talented Cardinals secondary. He's also got the potential to become a trendsetter as a safety/linebacker hybrid.

Oregon St. 
Andy Levitre, G, Tennessee Titans
Levitre is one of the best guards in the league. He has competition from New Orleans Saints corner Keenan Lewis as the best Beaver but Levitre gets the nod.

Oregon
Haloti Ngata, DT, Detroit Lions
-It's difficult to imagine Ngata on the Lions. He'll always be a Raven to me. Also a Duck. Oregon has sent a lot of talented players to the NFL in recent years. Ngata is still the best.
