Ok who is on everyone's all time MAC NFL team? Regardless of how good the player was in college, he was a star in the league. Only requirement is he made a NFL roster.

I will toss out a few obvious ones.........

QB-Roethlisberger (ugh that was painful to type)

TE-Antonio Gates

LB-Jason Taylor

Since he's now retiring: Greg Jennings. A duo of him and Moss would be deadly.

Here are the best players to have played in the MAC according to Pro Football Reference's Career Average Value. It only includes seasons since 1960, so a few players are hurt by this, but only a few seasons worth since the MAC didn't come into being until 1946. I only included players who played in the MAC, not players who played for MAC schools at a time when the school was not in the MAC. I also did not include players like J.J. Watt or Jonathan Goodwin, who briefly attended MAC schools but didn't really play there. Randy Moss at 123 has the highest CarAV among MAC players, with Jason Taylor (119) and Jack Lambert (110) not far behind. Ben Roethlisberger (108) has a few of years ahead of him to add to his, and young guys like Antonio Brown and Khalil Mack certainly could move up the list quickly.
