    Who's the top 3 pro players from your home state?

    In pro football, who's the best to come from yours?

    I'll put mine up against anybody else's. Favre, Rice, Walter Payton. ( with McNair, Archie and Marcus Dupree on the bench) lol.

    That's a top notch core. Imagine that team on offense....

    Just in football? Because I was going to say....

    1) Jordan.

    2) Jordan.

    3) Jordan.

    But I searched on the Hall of Fame site and came up with Chris Hanburger and Bruce Matthews.

      Virginia:

      Fran Tarkenton, Lawrence Taylor, Bruce Smith.

      That'd be a helluva pass rush, lol.

      The next two guys up would be the Barber twins, Tiki and Ronde.

            Damn, I never knew Massachusetts was such a hotbed.

            As for where I live now.... Probably Larry Fitzgerald, Bronko Nagurski (born in Canada, but moved to International Falls at 5), and a toss up between Jack Trudeau/Steve Walsh.

            EDIT: Missed a couple. Matt Birk and Terell Suggs. And Chip Lohmiller. Alright, I'm done looking now.

              Have no idea why you think I'm from Massachusetts.

                There's 32 Hall of Famers from California, but I'd probably go with Marcus Allen, John Elway, and Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers is right there, too. Great coaching, as well, Madden and Walsh.

                        Randy White is the only one that comes to mind as being really good. Pains me to say he was a Cowboy. (This is Eagles country, somewhat Ravens/Redskins downstate).

                        What's the distinction between being born here or growing up here? He was raised here but born in Pittsburgh.

                        Ain't much picking from DE. It's like a list of 20 players. Montell Owens, Luke Petitgout, and Jamie Duncan are the only ones I recognize.

                        Real hotbed.

                        NFL - Buffalo Bills
                        MLB - Cincinnati Reds

                          Just from my high school, we have:

                          Warren Sapp (1st ballot HoFer)
                          Brandon Meriweather (solid player for a while)
                          Sammie Smith (oh, what could have been )
