RollerColt Posted Thursday at 02:09 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:09 AM NFL+ had an article today on the best players born in each state (couldn’t read it as I’ve been cutting a lot of costs lately). But it did get me thinking: I’m not a Steelers fan at all, those of you who know me already know this. But I’d have to say Rod Woodson is the greatest born and raised Hoosier (born in Fort Wayne) to play the game. One of the greatest corners ever, still has records for fumble recoveries (32) and interceptions returned for a TD (12). 11 pro bowls. NFL Defensive POY (1993). Tied with Charles Woodson and Darren Sharper for most total defensive TDs (13). Super Bowl champion with the Ravens. I’d say that’s enough to put him as the best player from Indiana. Who’s the best from your state? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProblChld32 Posted Thursday at 04:30 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:30 AM Well let’s see it would probably have to be Dwight Freeny and what do you know, he just so happens to have been a Colt for the bulk of his career. I’m from Connecticut btw! noteable mentions Byron Jones - CB Terrance Knighton - DT Jason Pinnock - Current safety for the Giants. Andrew Pinnock - FB and also Jason Pinnock father. Aaron Hernandez - controversial one here obviously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe blue1306 Posted Thursday at 03:26 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:26 PM I’m from Iowa so I’ll have to say my 2 boys Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders. Though I don’t think Sanders is actually from Iowa. Fun fact about Dallas though.. his best friend from high school, his daughter, is dating my cousin. I’m still waiting to meet him lol as far as the goat though.. Kurt Warner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smonroe Posted Thursday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:55 PM Ohio has so many it’s hard to narrow it down. Some would say Staubach. Others may say Big Ben. Some lady name Taylor may say one of the Kelce brothers. I’ll go with Lou Groza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been lucky with some great players from WV for such a small state. Howley is a good choice but I would say Sam Huff or Randy Moss. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshinator Posted yesterday at 03:44 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:44 PM I'll represent Colorado here. Nate Solder and Christian McCaffrey are the two best that I can remember. Solid G from the Pats teams, and the best RB in the NFL currently. Add Trey McBride to that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
