NFL starting lineups based on their colleges - which conference reigns supreme???

• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  I did a similar post on that "other site" years ago, and thought I would try this again. Which college conference boasts the best offensive/special teams starting lineup in the NFL? I will take a stab at the Big 10 to start this off ...
  
  BIG 10
  
  QB - Tom Brady (backup Drew Brees)
  RB- Rashard Mendenhall
  WR- Santonio Holmes
  WR- Mario Manningham
  TE- Dallas Clark
  K - Nate Kaeding
  KR - Ted Ginn
  
  
  Not bad, although the dropoff after Mendenhall is steep, and receivers could be better ... I am probably forgetting someone big, but I am bored and just rushed through this ... who else??

  I would add Kris Dielman for offensive guard Chargers. Played at Indiana. Undrafted now he is a 4X All Pro.

  Anyone want to take a stab at the other conferences?

  Steinbach went to Iowa didn't he? OG
  
  Moeaki is the next stud at TE.
  
  Jeff Backus (probably a little old now but I don't think he's missed a start in like 10 yrs) OT

  Don't have much time, here's a quick MAC one. Their starters can compete with anyone, but they obviously aren't very deep

  WR Moss, Jennings, Moore, Walter
  RB Turner, Taylor, Starks
  TE Gates, Scheffler
  K Suisham
