There have been a lot of Aggies stars who have made the NFL their playground, but who is the best-ever?
There have been a lot of Texas A&M stars who have become great to watch in the NFL over the years, as the college program has made a name for itself by producing some incredible talent.
But when we are talking about some of the best Aggies to grace an NFL field, who could we name?
For those of a younger generation, star pass rusher Myles Garrett would be the top choice, but there are also other top candidates to have a look at.
All are superb candidates, and for NFL.com, the publication has decided to make a top 10 list of the all-time Texas A&M players to play in the NFL.
The list includes Lee Roy Caffey, Sam Adams, Charlie Krueger, Aaron Glenn, Jacob Green, Richmond Webb, Ray Childress, Jack Pardee, Lester Hayes and Yale Lary.
So, who would you have at No. 1? Granted, it is subjective, and there will be different answers, none of them wrong.
For NFL.com, it is defensive back/punter Yale Lary who tops the list.
Taken in the third round of the 1952 NFL Draft, Lary was a nightmare in the secondary.
He began his NFL career with the Detroit Lions, and his first two seasons were sound.
He managed to play 23 games and hauled in nine interceptions. Lary was rewarded in 1953 with his first Pro Bowl nod, in just his second NFL season. So that is a great start to life in the league.
His career had to be put on hold for the next two years as Lary had military service to conduct, and when he returned for the 1956 season, he was as good as ever.
Eight interceptions in 12 games, Lary earned his first All-Pro honor, something that would become the norm for him as he grabbed another two in 1958 and 1962.
In his 11-year career, Lary would haul in an impressive 50 interceptions, be a nine-time Pro Bowler, and a three-time All-Pro. Plus, he was an NFL champion three times and is a member of the All-1950s Hall of Fame team.
But what made Lary so good was that he wasn't just a one-trick pony as a defensive back; he played other positions as well throughout his career.
He was also a punter with 22,279 yards (total yardage) and averaged 44. 3 yards per punt. Lary was also a bit-part running back, rushing for 153 yards on just 10 carries, serving as a jack-of-all-trades for Detroit.
And for most, a deserving player to be put at No. 1 on this list.
