NFL Thunderdome

Let's go with Plaxico Sureshot Burress

He was elite for 3 years and had a 2000 yard season. I'm very confident.

We got the kids, but no one's picked dad, right?

Archie Manning

#40 on receiving list with 11,274 yards

#60 on passing list with 29,253 yards

#58 on passing list with 29,745 yards

#29 on receiving list with 12,146 yards

#58 on rushing list with 7,607 yards

#95 on receiving list with 8,499 yards

#91 on passing list with 23,911 yards

POG - I just updated the excel file I've been keeping and noticed that Jared Goff and Jim Hart are both listed as #34 on the passing list Is this correct?

Was going to be one of two QBs I'd test the water with, so onto the other

Trent Green

Baker Mayfield

Ryan Tannehill

Arian Foster

Jim Hart is #38 not #34 my bad

Craig Morton

Drew Pearson

#62 on passing list with 28,743 yards

#65 on passing list with 28,475 yards

#83 on passing list with 24,832 yards

#36 on passing list with 34,881 yards

#86 on rushing list with 6,527 yards

#69 on passing list with 27,908 yards

#125 on receiving list with 7,822 yards

Are you curious to know which colleges have produced the most high performing skill position players? I am. So I added a column to the table.

The college listed is the school which the player was drafted out of. For example, Russell Wilson started at NC State for 3 years and graduated from that school. Then he transferred to Wisconsin for his master's degree and played one year there. Wisconsin is listed as his school.

Joe Namath

He was already named (#70 pass yards)

Clinton Portis

Namath already used

Very much at the "did this guy stay active and productive long enough" stage, but will fire my "active enough, but was he actually doing any of these three things enough to qualify" shot

George Blanda

Lol. Looked through the list just before posting and somehow just skipped right over him.

Let's try:
Doug Flutie

TJ Houshmanzedah

(Probably spelling that horribly)

Regretting never having played FF now. And not having played Madden in 20+ years.

The last time I was into Madden, Randall Cunningham was a weapon at QB.

On the other hand, I'm flying back home this weekend to see my childhood buddies and participate in our 31st fantasy football auction.

Once the integral part of my "Last Time I Played Madden" story is selected I'll share. I think he'll be a strike so I'm not picking him.

Thought it'd be a good idea to actually make a list of names I'd thought of - got up to about 40, but I'm guessing half aren't right, includes at least one name I might have just made up, one receiver who might not actually be a receiver, and nearly one Rockies outfielder after I confused two players.

And nearly Flutie, but thankfully not
