8. Arkansas

CarAV: 890

The top tier of Arkansas' top three aren't quite as heavy, but they do have eight players of at least 82 career AV. Among them is Willie Roaf, the long-time offensive tackle and 11-time Pro Bowler. He rates first of all NFL players to hail from Arkansas, with a 107 career AV.

Next in the line is Rod Smith, a Denver Broncos lifer and two-time Super Bowl winning wideout. In 12 seasons, Smith produced 11,389 yards and 68 receiving scores.

Cortez Kennedy, an 11-year veteran and three-time All-Pro defensive tackle, had a great run of his own. In his time, Kennedy contributed 58 sacks and a career AV of exactly 100.
