Are we looking for guys that were great in college, ones that were great pros or both? If we are talking college, I’d think Brad Banks or Luka Garza could be in the mix. One was runner up for Heisman and the other was college basketball player of the year. If we want to talk about great college and NFL one might think about bob sanders, short career but he excelled in both stops. I’d also say someone like Tristan wirfs could be listed. He dominated college and was one of the highest paid lineman for a bit.

I mean.... how long do you have to wait to put the highest NCAA scorer in all of college basketball (men's and women's)?

well...to see how her career plays out as a pro?

Truly great college player. But even a Canadian will tell you that Connor McDavid isn't showing up on any Mt. Rushmore lists until he actually wins a championship. And for all his frustration with Bill Russell, Wilt got his.

And honestly, where there's a pro league out there, I think you gotta do something there to get on a rushmore list.
