It should be no surprise that some of the biggest names to come through the Rutgers football program have been on the defensive side of the ball. In fact, in terms of star power, these all-time lists for the Scarlet Knights are clearly tilted towards defense when it comes to name recognition and success at the NFL level.
The offense, truth be told, hasn’t been quite as glitzy.
And, given that the preponderance of this all-time list is formed from players who came up under head coach Greg Schiano, himself a former defensive coordinator at Miami and Ohio State, well, this list isn’t a shock at all. This program was built under Schiano on defense.
There are a couple of surprises on our list but what fun would a generic rubber stamp of the program be without a couple of twists and turns?
