The News & Observer‘s ACC Now blog has put together a great list (with hotlinks) to all of the former Atlantic Coast Conference football players now playing football in the NFL.
NC State currently ranks 6th in the ACC with 20 former players in the NFL.
For those fans that always want to compare NC State to UNC-CH, we suggest that you wait just two or three more years before expecting to see the Pack ahead of the Heels in this category. The composition of most of NC State’s NFL players is much more recent than the composition of the bulk of the Tarheels, who are living largely off of the players from the Mack Brown days of almost a decade ago. Names like Ethan Albright, Ebenezer Ekuban, Greg Ellis, William Henderson, Vonnie Holliday, Jeff Saturday and others just don’t have that many more years left in the league.
We will link this entry for you in our “ACC Blogs & Resources” Category on the right side of the front page of SFN. We work hard to keep all of those categories updated with vital links for quick access to good information. We ask that you surf some of those links and use our work to your benefit.
