Here are some of the best players to ever don a Michigan State uniform. Some are in the pros, some are still playing and one even owns the all-time NFL scoring record.
Michigan State University has seen many players come and go over decades of up and down seasons. Yet, there were some players who were absolutely a step above the rest.
Some participated in national championship games and a game recognized as the contest of the century due to its unexpected conclusion. Others became NFL stars, with one even possessing the all-time NFL points record. Some even became gigantic busts after stellar college careers (although we Spartan fans don't really like to mention the bad news associated with said athletes).
Michigan State University has been around for over a hundred years, obviously a lot of time for many players to make a name for themselves (or, in some cases, disrespect the integrity of the school, the program and themselves).
But this list was created to express the greatest pigskin performers that East Lansing has ever offered.
I'm sure players like Greg Jones and maybe even Kirk Cousins may someday be on a list similar to this, but it takes time to be recognized as one of the superior players in many decades of performance. Lots of hard work, dedication and great play on the field make players legends.
Now, without further ado, here are some of the greatest Spartans.
