It’s always hard to pick just one in the NFL Draft.

No matter how awful a franchise is, they can always point to a handful of homegrown players who helped push them to new heights.

Although every player that has donned a specific jersey for a team essentially becomes family, there’s something about a player who was drafted, groomed and developed there that makes it special. There’s a long list of players that are revered by that franchise’s fanbases. Whether they dominated and helped push their squad to championship glory or were simply an important cog on a decent team, fans always have their favorites.

With decades upon decades and thousands of players to sift through, we’ve decided to pick out the most dominant player that was ever drafted by each franchise. While players such as Brett Favre played seemingly forever on the Green Bay Packers, most fans believe he’s a homegrown product.

In actuality, Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons before being traded to the Packers after a subpar year in 1992. The players on this list don’t need to spend the entirety of their careers in one location, but being drafted and playing at a high level for said team for numerous years is what we’re looking for.

With that said, let’s just right into things.
