This is a photo of Bill Snyder during his post game press conference after a 51-14 loss to Oklahoma in which Oklahoma called off the dogs in the 3rd quarter in a game that could have been a lot worse. Oklahoma racked up over 700 yards of offense and Kansas State was over matched from start to finish. OU has better athletes and better coaches than K-State.

That got me curious about unrecognized K-State players that found success at the next level. Off the top of my head I could think of Lynn Dickey, Steve Grogan, Darren Sproles, Terrence Newman, and Jordy Nelson. When I looked back, I found plenty of other K-Staters that found success in the…
