Top-10 All-Time NFL Players From Cal

I saw that the CFB 24/7 section of NFL.com was putting up the best players from Alabama and Miami. They skipped Cal. Strange. Anyway, I will tackle the Cal players here and now.

10. Ryan Longwell, K, Green Bay Packers/Minnesota Vikings
-A kicker! Longwell was one the most accurate field goal kickers in the history of the game. He might not have had the biggest leg but he made a bunch at big moments.

  9. Tarik Glenn, T, Indianapolis Colts
-Just as Glenn started to hit his stride he retired. And Peyton Manning didn't feel as safe. Glenn was named to the Pro Bowl his last three seasons. He would have made more.

  8. Craig Morton, QB, Dallas Cowboys/New York Giants/Denver Broncos
-Injuries might have kept Morton from the career that a player with his talents might otherwise have had. He still led two teams to the Super Bowl (Cowboys and Broncos).

  7. Chuck Muncie, RB, New Orleans Saints/San Diego Chargers
-Muncie played for a terrible Saints team and then a terrifically talented Chargers team. If he had played his entire career with the Chargers maybe he's remembered with the best of his era. He could run and catch with the best.

  6. Ed White, G, Minnesota Vikings/San Diego Chargers
-There's an argument with merit that White is a Hall of Fame player. He's named one of the 50 Greatest Vikings. He's in the Chargers Hall of Fame. He was a perennial Pro Bowl player in the late 1970s.

  5. Nnambi Asomugha, CB, Oakland Raiders/Philadelphia Eagles
-There was a 3-4 year stretch where he was the best corner in the game.

  4. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Buffalo Bills/Seattle Seahawks
-He's simply a beast.

  3. Tony Gonzalez, TE, Kansas City Chiefs/Atlanta Falcons
-It took 48 years before a Cal player was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In about four years Gonzalez will start a nice little run of Cal players heading to Canton.

  2. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
-The only surprise is that he's not #1. He will be.

  1. Les Richter, LB, Los Angeles Rams
-Richter is at the top of the list as long as he's the only Cal player honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
