    Reminded of Franco Harris/Lydell Mitchell at PSU; only one better was Davis/Blanchard?

    I think the highest drafted combo would have been Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown at Auburn in the early-mid 2000s

    Eric Dickerson / Craig James is the first one that came to mind when I saw what the thread was about.

    I was thinking NFL success mainly but happy to hear about all success.

    Georgia just had Nick Chubb, Todd Gurley and Sony Michel.

    That Miami team in 2002 had Willis McGahee and Frank Gore.

    Thurman Thomas/Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State might be the gold standard in modern times.
    Charles White/Marcus Allen at USC.
    Leonard Fournette/Derrius Guice at LSU was pretty damn good.
    Nick Chubb/Sony Michel at Georgia.
    Trent Richardson/Mark Ingram was a devastating combo at Alabama.

    The 2001 Miami team was also remarkable for having four future recognizable NFL players, two borderline Hall of Famers, and another guy who was a solid pro (Clinton Portis/Frank Gore/Willis McGahee/Najeh Davenport).
