Virginia, 3

Bill Dudley, HB/DB

The No. 1 overall draft pick by the Steelers in 1942, Bill Dudley led the NFL in rushing and was an All-Pro as a rookie before spending three years in World War II. When he returned, Dudley earned three more All-Pro selections, including a stellar 1946 season in which he led the NFL in both rushing and interceptions.

Henry Jordan, DT

In 13 pro seasons with the Browns and Packers, Henry Jordan won two Super Bowls and five NFL championships and was named All-Pro seven times.

Ralph Wilson, Jr.

As the owner of the Buffalo Bills from 1959 until his death in 2014, Ralph C. Wilson oversaw a franchise that won the AFL twice (1964 and 1965) and represented the AFC in the Super Bowl in four straight seasons from 1990-93.

Washington, 3

Hugh McElhenny, HB

The first Washington Huskies running back to rush for 1,000 in a season, Hugh McElhenny spent 13 seasons in the NFL as a versatile running back that gained 5,281 yards on the ground and totaled 3,247 receiving yards while scoring 58 total touchdowns from 1952-64.

Warren Moon, QB

Warren Moon took a long, winding journey to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, through junior college, Washington and six years in the CFL before the Houston Oilers (with whom he won MVP honors in 1990) finally gave him a shot to become an NFL quarterback. In 17 NFL seasons, Moon threw for 49,325 yards, which ranks No. 7 in league history.

Arnie Weinmeister, DL

The only Pro Football Hall of Famer born in Saskatchewan, Arnie Weinmeister spent just six seasons in the NFL and two in the CFL, though he earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in four consecutive seasons from 1950-53.

Wisconsin, 3

Arnie Herber, QB

A 40.9 career completion percentage and 81-to-106 TD-to-interception rate aren’t Hall of Fame worthy today, but Arnie Herber (who played on the freshman team for the Badgers in 1928 before leaving for Regis University) was one of the best quarterbacks of the 1930s.

Elroy Hirsch, RB

Nicknamed Crazylegs, Elroy Hirsch played football at both Wisconsin and Michigan before embarking on a 12-year NFL career that included three Pro Bowls, two All-Pro selections and the 1951 NFL title. Hirsch, whose No. 40 is retired at Wisconsin, was the athletic director at the school from 1969-87.

Mike Webster, C

The only Pro Football Hall of Famer to spend his entire collegiate career at Wisconsin, Mike Webster won four Super Bowls as a center with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
