Ranking the top 10 NFL players born in Connecticut
1. Dwight Freeney, DE (2002-2017)
The Hartford-born Super Bowl hero went to Bloomfield High School outside of the city. Freeney landed at Syracuse, where the 2001 consensus All-America won Big East Defensive Player of the Year. He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro in the NFL.

Dwight Freeney for example used a dip and rip (speed), speed bull (power) and spin (counter). pic.twitter.com/0nDbn1uFD7
