Watching the Broncos-Chargers tonight got me thinking about making a team of players who attended a college with 50 or fewer NFL players.

Although Austin Ekeler didn't have an outstanding game, he still scored a TD. Aikman and Buck were talking about him being drafted out of Western St (Colorado), and it got me thinking about all the great players from small schools like Jerry Rice.

Want to avoid guys that played briefly at a small school then transferred to a major program like Terrell Davis.

Here are some of the top players from small schools, without doing a ton of research.

Let me know if you think this team could compete against the big dogs like Alabama, Notre Dame, and USC.

QB: Kurt Warner, Rich Gannon, Roger Staubach, Ken Anderson, Jon Kitna
RB: Austin Ekeler, Wilbert Montgomery
WR: Jerry Rice, TY Hilton, Michael Haynes, Cooper Kupp, Joe Horn, Vincent Jackson
TE: Ben Coates
K: Jan Stenerud, Nick Lowery
Defense: Lyle Alzado, Jared Allen, Jason Taylor, Rodney Harrison, Khalil Mack, Eddie Robinson

I always feel kind of sorry for the players that our ineligible for our college themes because they went to small schools.

What are you considering small schools? Anything lower than the Power 5 Conferences?
