51 Pro Football Hall of Famers from small schools

There have been a number of players from small schools that have gone on to careers as Pro Football Hall of Famers.

The route to Canton doesn’t always go through big-time college football. These players went to small schools and still found a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Great thanks to the HOF for its wonderful bio info.

Larry Allen began his college football career at Butte Junior College in Oroville, Calif. before transferring to Sonoma State, a Division II school near San Francisco. He quickly developed a reputation as a dominant lineman and his stock rose among NFL scouts. The Dallas Cowboys used their second-round pick, 46th player overall, in 1994 on Allen, who became a 10-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro.
