Passing yds - Brett Favre from Kiln, MS/USM (4th behind Brady, Brees, Manning)
Rushing yds - Walter "Sweetness" Payton from Columbia, MS/JSU (2nd behind Emmitt)
Receiving yds - Jerry Rice (1st) from Crawford & Oktoc, MS/ MVSU

MS is a small state but that's a pretty impressive trio of all-time greats. Can another state match that?

Only Texas is close. Their triplets are Drew Brees, Isaac Bruce, Adrian Peterson.

And no FBS school wanted any of them except USM signed Favre as a DB.

Also, Jackie Slater at Oline. He may not be the best ever at his position, but he’s in the HOF.

Peyton Manning
Marshal Faulk
The WR’s don’t have the number yet but the current crop is special.

I know he was born and raised in Louisiana and is Louisiana's, but his genetic makeup is all Mississippi.

This is a dumb statement. Not surprising seeing where you’re from, though

LA has:

Peyton Manning
Marshall Faulk

We have a slew of elite WRs, none of whom are as good as Jerry Rice, but Peyton gives a decisive advantage at a much more valuable and difficult position to fill. Faulk and Payton are comparable.

The Mannings came to Mississippi from South Carolina.

Peyton is barely ahead of Brett. And Faulk is way back from Sweetness.

Jerry will be tough to catch but Chase/JJ are having incredible careers.
