No Big 12 alums among '09 Pro Football HOF class
Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
The Big 12 will be shut out in this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame class. The group of 15 finalists have no representatives that attended Big 12 schools.
Two Big 12 players were dropped when the cut was made from 25 to 15 finalists by the NFL Hall of Fame selection committee. Those who were left out included former Nebraska running back Roger Craig and cornerback Lester Hayes, who attended Texas A&M.
Here's a look at Big 12 schools and their representatives in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Baylor: LB Mike Singletary
Colorado: None
Iowa State: None
Kansas: T Mike McCormack, RB John Riggins, RB Gale Sayers
Kansas State: None
Missouri: CB Roger Wehrli, TE Kellen Winslow
Nebraska: T Bob Brown, End/coach Guy Chamberlin, T William "Link" Lyman
