From Super Bowl MVPs to legendary sack artists, discover which Horned Frog icons dominated the professional stage and fueled the Dallas Cowboys' dynasty in this definitive countdown.

Trying to pick who are the top players to come out of TCU all-time is a hard task, but given where we are in the NFL offseason, it seems like a good exercise to do.

With some many quality candidates, the list is long but that doesn't mean it is impossble.

In fact, NFL.com has ranked the top 10 NFL players of all-time to come out of TCU, and there are some absolute stars in this list.

So, who does the publication have at the top of the list?

Well, let's go down that list and see if NFL.com as gotten it right.

No. 10 - Phillip Epps

A receiver who played eight seasons in the NFL, seven for Green Bay and one for the New York Jets. 

Epps put up some good numbers in his career, posting 2,992 yards and 14 TDs from 200 receptions in 95 games.

No. 9 - Kenneth Davis

A nine-year career saw Davis play for Green Bay for his first couple of seasons, but he made his name in Buffalo.

He spent six years with the Bills, and put up some good numbers. 

In his career, Davis rushed for 3,512 yards and 27 TDs as he averaged a crisp 4.3 yards per carry.

No. 8 - Larry Brown

A three-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl XXX MVP, Brown was part of the Dallas Cowboys' dynasty in the early 1990s.

In 1995, he managed three interceptions in three playoff games to be a driving force behind Dallas' third Super Bowl in four years.

No. 7 - Lyle Blackwood

A 14-year career saw Blackwood be a dominant force in the NFL.

His best season saw him manage a whopping 10 interceptions for Baltimore in 14 games, which is astonishing.

In total, Blackwood would end his career with 35 interceptions.

No. 6 - Greg Townsend

A two-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ, Townsend's career spanned 13 years, with 12 of them coming with then Los Angeles Raiders.

He then had one year in Philadelphia before one last season in Oakland in 1997.

No. 5 - Andy Dalton

The Red Rifle is still in the league at the ripe old age of 38, but his days as a starter are over.

He made his name with the Cincinnati Bengals, leading them to the playoffs in four straight seasons, but couldn't get them to the Super Bowl.

Perhaps a touch underrated early in his career, Dalton has three Pro Bowls to his name.

No. 4 - Aaron Schobel

A nine-year career with Buffalo saw Schobel be a two-time Pro Bowler and finish with 78 sacks, which included four years of double-digit sacks along the Bills' defensive line.

No. 3 - LaDainian Tomlinson

Could easily make the case for " LT" to be higher.

An 11-year career saw LT become one of the best running backs in football. He posted 13, 684 yards and 145 TDs. He's a member of the Hall of Fame and has three All-Pro nods and 5 Pro Bowls as well. A stud.

No. 2 - Bob Lilly

An absolute beast for the Cowboys. In the Hall of Fame with 11 Pro Bowls and seven All-Pros, he is also a member of the 1960s and 1970s Hall of Fame teams as well.

No. 1 - Sammy Baugh

A two-time NFL champ, a six-time Pro Bowler, and a four-time All-Pro, he takes out the top spot in NFL.com's rankings.

Over 21,000 passing yards and 187 TDs, he's earned to be ranked No. 1.
