If Hines Ward is deservedly number one on our list, then Fran Tarkenton is on the Hall of Fame. The former UGA quarterback is a legend in both college football and the NFL.
While Tarkenton didn’t quite make it to Super Bowl champion, he did lead the Vikings to six NFC Central Division titles and three Super Bowls, coming up short in all three appearances in the big game.
He is by far one of the most decorated players in UGA and NFL history and sits in both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Hats off to the greatest NFL Bulldog of all time, Hall of Famer, Fran Tarkenton.
