Nice list, I'm saving it for future reference. Forgot about DeVree. When the subject of players transferring came up the other day, it was discounted as "it didn't work for anyone who did". Obviously, he made out just fine.

I mean on the list. If DeVree is listed, I would've assumed Maragos would've been too.

RE: Nice article on WMU pros
Is it "pros" who merely signed a contract at one point for a half-second (hello bench for pre-season and hello practice-squad! I count, too!) -- or ones who've actually Played In regular games for a team?

Also missing from the list is Orville Schneider, a captain of the team when Bob Lurtsema was playing.

Always proud to be a Bronco.

Maragos added.

I don't see any reference to Schneider playing in the NFL.
