Greatest College Football Players to Wear Numbers 1-99

    No way.

    Dayne isn't ahead of Dorsett or Marcus Allen.

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

    34 was definitely the toughest IMO. Four great RBs all had the same number and it was way too hard to try to pick one (or two) between Bo, Payton, and Herschel

    I see it as I hate leaving off Bo and Payton, but I can't see anyone ahead of Herschel.

    Herschel was 1st team All American all 3 years he played at UGA and probably should have won the Heisman all 3 years as well. He is the only player in history to finish in the top 3 every year he played. That was also back when the award was more of a career award and they were completely against giving it to underclassmen.

  • I'll throw my last piece in then drop it.

    Vince Young was great...for one year.

    Brooks was 3x All ACC, 2x All Americal, 2x Lombardi finalist.

    Yea, he carried his team more than Brooks, but he was a running QB, while Brooks played LB.

    In 25 years do you think our kids will know the name Derrick Brooks or the name Vince Young.

    Brooks is #10 in my book but I see that it's debatable between him and Young.

    I see your point.

    QB is a tough position to judge against others as it is so hard to come in and be great from the start. At other positions, that is definitely more possible.

    If we were to compare the numbers and judge what they did in the NFL, there would be no debate. Brooks is a HOF LB.

    I'm biased, he's my favorite athlete of all time.

    As a FSU/Bucs fan this guys career was literally a fairy tale script.

    Wins NC at FSU
    Wins Super Bowl at Bucs
    Walter Peyton Man of the year
    NEVER in trouble
    Buys Tampa Bay Storm (arena football)
    Joins FSU Board of Trusties

    The guy is like a super hero for Tampa natives.

    I agree with you.

    When I was in college, I was all about Cornelius Bennett. Of course, he was on the losing side in 5 Super Bowls and never won one.

    Brooks was amazing. Him, Sapp, and Lynch won a lot of games without much help on the other side of the ball for a long time.

    The Great 34 Debate

    Bo or Hershel?

    gimme Bo

    It's Herschel and it isn't even a question. Nobody else can even carry his jock.

    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'm sorry, but in college football, Woodson is easily on top of Sanders. I'm not going to say that it isn't close, but I think it is definitive.
