psaboy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I interested in knowing which past SAC conference players have made a team roster and played in the NFL. Not necessarily only looking for players that had a career in the league, spot playing time during a season or two as well. I'll start with what I know and looked up, thinkng there has to be more, interested if anyone can add any?

BTF Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Historically, Fort Wayne has sent 30 players to the NFL. By comparison, Indianapolis is just shy of 90. I know this was an SAC thread, so that number will vary. The thirty players noted identify as being born in Fort Wayne. But on the flip side of that, I'm sure there were some SAC kids in the NFL who were born outside of the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would say The Fort is holding it's own. No holding it's own jokes.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy can be as big as they want to be. I hope Fort Wayne's 'Road to a Million' plan is a total failure. We don't need traffic to get any worse. For the record............I had Indy at 2.1 million and Fort Wayne at 450,000. Depends on the source I guess.
