ACC First-Team NFL All-Pro

Ovie Mughelli

Led by former Hokie and almost certain NFL Comeback Player of the Year Michael Vick, a total of 17 former ACC football players have been named first-team All-Pro including…drum roll, please…Ovie Mughelli from…are you ready for this? WAKE FOREST.

Nothin’ wrong with Wake football which has made major progress under Jim Grobe, but you just don’t see that many Deamon Deacs in the pros so having a guy turn up All-Pro is news of note. Just sayin’.

The runaway winner is the U and their contribution makes the ACC the conference with the most first-team All-Pros.
