The 20 Best NFL Players to Attend Stanford: #3 and #2 both on some of the NFL's best-ever units

Who are the best NFL players that the Farm has produced? Our list continues with one guy on one of the best defenses in NFL history and another guy on one of the best offenses in league history

The Stanford football program has been extremely successful in producing NFL talent, which includes three Hall of Famers, two Super Bowl MVPs, "the best corner in the league," 11 First- Team All Pro players and 23 Pro Bowlers with a combined 68 appearances to date. This is part four of that series.

3. John Lynch

Third-round pick in 1993 NFL Draft

6'2", 220-pound safety

NFL playing career: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1993-2003), Denver Broncos (2004-2007)

One of two Stanford baseball players to crack the top-three, Lynch absolutely deserves the Hall of Fame nod that hasn't yet come his way after two nominations.
