[KansasSooner]

Supposedly after that hit Dorsett went to the sidelines and told Majors "They're dropping linebackers out of the sky."

When the game started, everyone was pissed off to see a huge banner hanging on the wall at the southeast corner of the stadium in front of the Pittsburgh fans that said "Oklahoma who?". They took it down in the 3rd quarter when the score when to 30-3. Final score 46-10.

I was still in W. Germany when that game was played. I've only seen highlights here and there of the game.

I ask that we pause for a moment of appreciation. Reggie White, the Deacon of Defense.

I'd like to give a shout out to Erick Anderson. Probably one of the greatest Michigan LB's of all time, IMO....

 

[ckhokie]

I'm just taking mine back to the '99 season as that was my senior year in HS, got into VT and really started becoming a fan

A couple I would add

How could you guys leave off Kevin Jones? Maybe the most electrifying Hokie save Mike Vick..

Mike Vick
Kevin Jones
Ryan Williams
David Wilson
Tyrod Taylor
Andre Davis

Defense
Brandon Flowers
DeAngelo Hall
Corey Moore
Darryl Tapp
Xavier Adibi
Kendall Fuller

 

[uncfan103]

Offense:
Dwight Jones - Dude was a beast. Lots of fun to watch. Big, physical, freak.
Giovani Bernard - Probably the best player to play at UNC in my lifetime. He literally put the team on his back. His final year they lost 4 games. Two of them they lost because he didn't play, one was against the worst team in the country. The others they scored 50+ in one and he was the only offense in the other.
Hakeem Nicks - Duh
Caleb Pressley - google him
Connor Barth - Kicker. Game winning fg against a top 5 team with the surfer hair when I was a kid made him instantly popular because he seemed like a really cool dude.

Defense:
Gerald Sensabaugh - He only played a year but he came in and was awesome. He was flying all over the field, made big time plays, hit harder than anyone, and was just fun to watch.
Julius Peppers - Cause he was a monster.
Robert Quinn - Because he was a monster.
Bruce Carter - Because he was the fastest player on the football field at all times. And was a linebacker. Could block punts, run anyone down, and was part of one of the best defenses assembled at Carolina.
Cam Thomas - He's from the same county as me. Seeing him play in high school and then again at Carolina was really neat.

 

[Payton]

Tough...

1) Charlie Ward
2) Lawrence Dawsey
3) Amp Lee
4) Warrick Dunn
5) Peter Tom Willis

Honorables: Walter Jones, Danny Kannell, Chris Weinke, Peter Warrick, Shannon Baker, Kez McCorvey, Matt Frier, etc, etc, etc...

1) Marvin Jones
2) Derrick Brooks
3) Terrell Buckley
4) Dan Footman
5) Peter Boulware

Honorables: Deion Sanders, Devin Bush, Clifton Abraham, Carl Simpson, Andre Wadsworth, Lawrence Timmons, etc, etc, etc...

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Offense

CJ Spiller - Lightning fast. Able to break one off and take it to the house at any time.
Sammy Watkins - Caught everything thrown at him and fast as well
Nuk Hopkins -
Dwight Clark - You know who he is.
Andre Ellington - Most under rated RB we've ever had.


Defense

Brian Dawkins - Enough said
William "the refrigerator" Perry - again is an explanation necessary
Levon Kirkland
Chester McGlockton
Terry Kinard

 

[TROJAN-MAN]

Offense

1. David Greene

3. Todd Gurley
4. Hines Ward
5. Aaron Murray

Defense

1. David Pollack
2. Champ Bailey
3. Jarvis Jones
4. Greg Blue
5. Brandon Boykin

Jarvis Jones, is and will always be a Trojan. Just ask him

 

[TROJAN-MAN]

But hey, my fav Raider was a Stanford guy. Plunkett

Watching Plunkett and Stabler play for the raiders was a site to behold, no doubt

Ahman Green
Rex Burkhead

Defense:
Ndamukong Suh
Prince Amukamara

All these players have played since I was alive/old enough to remember watching them. I figured that would be better than listing players that I wasn't ever actually able to watch.

 

[WABLTY]

Offense:
Jake Plummer
Shaun McDonald
Todd Heap
Derek Hagan
Jalen Strong

Defense is tougher since there've been a lot more:
Pat Tillman
Darren Woodson
Terrell Suggs
Will Sutton
David Fulcher

Fright Night would have made the list if not for that massive contract he signed with the Arizona Penal League. Could have put in Burfict instead to fill the headhunter quota. Could have been Dale Robinson as well. Also considered Archuleta and Eric Allen.
