The Blue Board

Don't homer this up-- Woodson had a career, and Cam had a year.

Charles Woodson-- 2X All-American, Big Ten Freshman of the Year
Cam Newton-- 1X All-American

It's debatable but you can't put the Heisman as the reason he wins the argument. It's an offensive players award and if Woodson didn't do other things outside of just playing D then he wouldn't have won it either so that argument isn't valid.

plus cam was the most dominant player in SEC history

Maybe....if he didn't spent 2 years as a backup and then go to a JUCO.

Would have, could have, should have.

It didn't happen, man.

Fair enough. Not even old enough, nor do I care, to attempt to understand that much of ya'll's tradition. Really good job on the list though. No knock at all for compiling the whole thing.

Throw in Marvin Jones at 55 as well.

Elway was right behind for me. Vick and Theisman were 7s as well.

Some more 11s. Arrington, Dan Fouts, Darrell Royal, and Andre Ware.

Tough choices on a bunch of them.

*Homer Alert*

I would pick Junior Seau for #55...his number has come to represent one of the greatest honors for a defensive player at his university. The number can not be requested, it can only be awarded by the Head Coach. It will never be retired because it has come to represent a great honor, with inclusion to an exclusive fraternity at USC, "Club 55".

I like Matt at #11 as well...37-2, with the two losses for a total of 6 points. His final season, he led the offense all the way to an undefeated regular season...with basically, no defense. That offense carried the team on it's shoulders, and Matt was the undisputed leader.

Deion Sanders over Woodson all day long. No one and I mean no one had ever or has ever locked down his half od the field like Deion. Deion was also one of the best return men ever to play. Also, before Woodson's play on offense is brought up, Deion played some offense as well. The man called his shot on a punt return against Clemson for crap's sake! Deion Sanders is synonymous with cornerback, he is the guy Woodson wanted to be.

i'd go with tom also surprisingly.

#27 Terrell Buckley has to be considered. He still holds, I believe, the NCCA record for interception return yards and was a lethal return man as well.

No way.

Dayne isn't ahead of Dorsett or Marcus Allen.

Ricky wouldn't be ahead or Herschel, Bo Jackson, or Walter Payton.
