This is a series of articles highlighting the “greats” of BYU football history. Former BYU athletes qualify for this list by being a BYU alumni who has played at least one down of professional football (that is, someone paid them money to play the sport of football). Each profile will include highlights from their BYU careers, an accounting of all their professional experience, and an update on what they have done since their professional playing careers. If you have information regarding any of these players or would like to make a request on who to profile next please write in the comment section below.
