Leonard Michell was a first round pick for the Eagles. Played in 89 games for Eagles and Falcons over 8 years! Mitchell came in at 6â7â 290 lbs.
Again, like Fletcher.
Great career.
But no pro bowls or all-pros. Coogs in the NFL that earned such distinctions should be ranked ahead of those that didnât as far as who had the âmost sucessful NFL career.â
Mitchell played D-line in the NFL. Probably ranks behind Fletcher in that regard.
Only started 55 out of 89 career games. Only one career sack.
McMillan is arguably the top Coog DB in the NFL.
In 1992, he made a pro bowl and all-pro, and led the NFL in interceptions.

Absolutely awesome. Legend.
Noticed the following picture?
That embodies what college sports should be all about. Local, regional rivalries mean college sports not the forced media version that we have today.

Yes he was pretty good. He is a great what if as a Coog though. He happened to be a QB during the time we had Gerald Landry.
He could have been a great veer QB.
Little Eddie is not even in the same zip code as UHâs greatest players.
When Fletcher was playing for the Coogs, another defensive player was getting all of the press. I told Coach Yeoman, that I thought Simon Fletcher was playing great and doesnât get the press. Coach told me, âI wish I had a whole team of Simon Fletchers.â Yes, those were his exact words.

ROTFL! NO
Heâs one of the best to ever play here. Get put of your feelings and the 1970s. That was 50 years ago.

Case Keenum is still on a roster.

Easy answer to your question is NOT CLOSE.
To throw anther good name out there is Glenn Cadrez who had a nice 11 year career with 2 SB rings.

Sebastian Vollmer for me and its a pretty wide margin. Tasked with protecting the GOAT.

Letâs break it down by position
QB - Case (not even close)
RB - Newhouse (but letâs not forget Antoine Smith)
OL - Sebass
TE - Odems
WR - Elmo. I thnk it could have been Tank.
DL - this is a hard one. Have to go Fletcher.
LB - Greg Brezina he was critical in the best defense everyone has forgotten about the 1977 Atlanta Falcons Gritz Blitz. Statistically the best defense ever.
DB - McMillan (shout out to Alton Montgomery and Randy Thorton).

Elmo was the first UH football âstarâ I was able to watch. He was a groundbreaker in more ways than one but his pro career was nothing special.
At WR Iâd go back to Pat Studstill who had a nice long tenure in the NFL with the Lions and Rams. He was a punter for the most part and a good one. But he also led the NFL in yards receiving and yards per game in '66. He made a couple of Pro Bowls and an All-Pro designation.
