3. Derrick Brooks

Derrick Brooks was a dominant force on the defensive side of the ball. As a linebacker, he possessed incredible speed and instincts, making him a nightmare for opposing offenses.

5. Warrick Dunn

Warrick Dunn was a dynamic running back who showcased his versatility on the field. He had the ability to break tackles and make explosive plays, making him a fan favorite. Dunn's impact extended beyond football, as he also showed immense strength and resilience off the field, overcoming personal tragedies and making a positive impact in the community.

6. Fred Biletnikoff

Fred Biletnikoff revolutionized the wide receiver position during his time at Florida State.

He won the Heisman Trophy in 1964 and went on to have a successful career in the NFL, becoming one of the greatest wide receivers of all time.

7. Jameis Winston

Jameis Winston burst onto the college football scene with a bang. In his freshman year, he led the Seminoles to an undefeated season and a national championship. Winston's arm strength and ability to make clutch plays earned him the Heisman Trophy in 2013. Despite controversy surrounding his off-field behavior, his impact on the field cannot be denied.

8. Peter Warrick

Peter Warrick was a game-changer at the wide receiver position. His combination of speed, agility, and route-running made him a nightmare for opposing defenses. Warrick played a pivotal role in the Seminoles' 1999 national championship season and was a two-time consensus All-American.

9. Sebastian Janikowski

Sebastian Janikowski is widely regarded as one of the greatest kickers in college football history. His powerful leg and accuracy made him a valuable asset for the Seminoles. Janikowski won the Lou Groza Award twice and played a significant role in the team's success during his time at Florida State.
