9. Tennessee Volunteers

Three Players: Peyton Manning (QB), Arian Foster (RB), Jason Witten (TE)

This is a college football program that has been down for most of the past 10 years, but that has not stopped a few seasoned vets from making it into this year’s Pro Bowl. In fact, they are all becoming regulars.

That makes a statement of the consistency of NFL Talent the Tennessee Volunteers put out, particularly during the Phillip Fulmer era. Peyton Manning was drafted in 1998, Jason Witten was drafted in 2003, and Arian Foster made his NFL debut in 2010. That spans 13 years, and all of them played under Fulmer.

And now they are all staples of the Pro Bowl, having been selected multiple times. Unfortunately, only Witten is going to play this year.

But it is still impressive for Tennessee to put up these numbers when their last Top 25 finish was 2007.

Oh, and did we mention one of the guys on this list is Peyton Manning? Just wanted to make sure.
