Saturdays to Sundays: Most Legendary Paths

From small-town campus heroes to NFL/NBA icons. We track the most improbable journeys in sports history.

The transition from the colorful, high-energy world of college sports to the professional grind of the NFL and NBA is one of the most difficult jumps in all of athletics. At Saturday to Sunday, we are obsessed with the "Paths"—the unique journeys that lead a student-athlete to professional stardom.

The Power Five Pipeline

It’s no secret that schools like Alabama, Ohio State, and Kentucky are "pro factories." These programs have refined the art of scouting and development, creating a direct pipeline to the first round of the draft. When you see a player from these schools in our daily game, they are often in the Easy tier because their path is so well-documented.

The Improbable Journeys

The real magic happens with the "walk-ons" and the "small school" stars. Think of the players who started at a community college or a Division II program before lighting up the national stage. These are the players that make our game challenging. When you correctly identify a superstar who played at a school you’ve barely heard of, you’re not just playing a game—you’re honoring an incredible journey.

Why It Stays Personalized

Every fan has their "guy"—the player they saw in a random Tuesday night MAC game who they knew would be a star. Our trivia rosters are designed to hit those notes of nostalgia and scouting intuition. We track these paths so you can prove you saw the talent before the rest of the world did.
