    49ers: Chris Borland, Glen Coffee, Kentwan Balmer, Anthony Davis. Aldon Smith would have been on it if not for that insane comeback with Cowboys a few years ago. Trent Baalke sure drafted some weirdos.

    Noel Devine always gives me a laugh every time he pops up in my head.

    Some Oregon legends. Dennis Dixon, Jeremiah Masoli, De’Anthony Thomas, LaMichael James. I’m surprised Darron Thomas never played in NFL?

      Masoli has been in the CFL since 2012. He was a member of the Edmonton Eskimos that first year, but was on their injured reserve list. He was then a Hamilton Tiger-Cat from 2013 to 2021, eventually becoming their starting quarterback. He had a few good years, then suffered a nasty leg injury. He has been with the Ottawa REDBLACKS (yes, the name is officially all capitalized) for the last two seasons, but again, fell victim to a severe leg injury.
