2. All-time greats
Running back Ernie Davis, a two-time All-American, became the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy when he captured it in 1961. Sadly, he died two years later from leukemia. The Carrier Dome’s field is named for Davis, whose story is told in the 2008 movie “The Express,” which took its title from Davis’ nickname, the “Elmira Express.” As great as Davis was, football legend Jim Brown was Syracuse’s best all-around athlete. Brown, who became a Pro Football Hall of Famer and a young Les Miles’ idol with the Cleveland Browns, earned 10 varsity letters in football, basketball, lacrosse and track. Running back Floyd Little was Syracuse football’s only three-time All-American (1964-66) and was followed by Larry Csonka, a two-time All-American (1966-67) who went on to star at running back for the unbeaten 1972 Miami Dolphins. Both are also Pro Football Hall of Famers. Wide receiver Quadry “The Missile” Ismail, a 1991 All-American who returned kicks for the Saints in 1998, is probably Syracuse’s greatest player of the last 25 years.

Or Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney. Will Allen and Donovan Darius both played overy a decade in the League. Syracuse has had some very very good individual players throughout its history.
And no, New York is not New England by today's definition.
