Yes I think Blair is likely tops. M. Stensrud another good NFL career of top of head?Matt Blair, Keith Sims, Karl Nelson come to mind. Pretty sure Blair wins on total Pro Bowls.

I knew Matt fairly well. I played basketball with him very frequently. He moved into my apartment on Welch Ave when I graduated.
I went to Cyclone FB games for 51 years (up until this year) and I think he is the best player to play at ISU during those years. Great guy, great athlete. Doubt any Cyclone can match his pro accomplishments either. RIP Matt.
Pretty sure that my pastor when I was younger (he was fresh out of seminary then) told stories about playing basketball with Matt Blair and Ike Harris. I know that for a 6’0” or so minister (engineering undergrad), he could really elevate and had a sweet jump shot. Always wore his red Converse low tops and Sun Bowl t-shirt when we played in the church gym.IIRC his team rolled though the intramurals one year, I think 1972 or 1973. Think Ike Harris played on that team to. Might have been the Ques, the black fraternity. Totally routed my dorm house even with a couple of our guys having been on the freshman team before opting out of varsity.
