Duke, 3

Sonny Jurgensen, QB

A five-time Pro Bowler and five-time NFL passing leader, Sonny Jurgensen also led the Philadelphia Eagles to the 1960 NFL Championship, and was selected to the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team. In 18 NFL seasons with Philadelphia and Washington, Jurgensen amassed 32,224 passing yards and 255 TD passes.

George McAfee, HB

George McAfee played for the Blue Devils during one of the most successful periods in program history. From 1937-39, Duke posted a 24-4-1 record, including an unscored upon season in 1938 in which the Blue Devils finished No. 3 in the final AP poll. In eight NFL seasons sandwiched around a stint in the Navy during World War II, McAfee won four NFL Championships with the Chicago Bears. The Bears have retired his No. 5 jersey.

Clarence (Ace) Parker, QB

A consensus All-American at Duke in 1936, Ace Parker found great success as a two-way player in the NFL for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Boston Yanks and New York Yankees (yep, those were pro football teams). A two-time All-Pro, Parker led the NFL in passing yards in 1938 and led the league in interceptions in 1940. He also earned MVP honors in 1940 with the Dodgers.

Fordham, 3

Vince Lombardi, Head Coach

Arguably the greatest coach of all-time, Vince Lombardi was a member of the famed “Seven Blocks of Granite” at Fordham in 1936. Lombardi played right guard for the Rams, and though he never played in the NFL, Lombardi won six NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls as head coach of the Green Bay Packers. The Super Bowl trophy is named in his honor.

Wellington Mara, Owner

The son of Tim Mara, a Pro Football Hall of Famer that owned the New York Giants from 1925-59, Wellington Mara first held an ownership stake in the Giants in 1937 and co-owned the team until his death in 2005. The Giants won two Super Bowls and six NFL championships during Mara’s ownership.

Alex Wojciechowicz, OL

The only Fordham graduate to earn Pro Football Hall of Fame status as an NFL player, Alex Wojciechowicz was a two-time first team All-Pro center for the Detroit Lions and helped the Philadelphia Eagles win back-to-back NFL Championships in 1948-49.
