It's Father's Day, and to honor all the dads involved in football, we decided to put together an all-star team of college players whose dads played in the NFL.

There are a lot of them - more than 100 - and this team is picked based on the son's exploits thus far. When there was a "tie," the father's NFL career was used as a sort of tie-breaker.

Check out the secondary; the dads of three of our "all-stars" were Pro Bowlers.
