Too many in that upper tier. John Hannah and Derrick Thomas are considered all timers. Probably one of them

Thomas was essentially a defensive end, and the coaches asked him to cover Chris Carter in the 4th quarter against Ohio State. Man coverage against one of the best receivers of all time. That’s the kind of athlete DT was

Derrick Thomas


He was my first thought, because I got to watch him play.

Not sure there's ever been a more dominating LB at the college level. 27 sacks in a season and 52 in his career. John Hannah and Lee Roy Jordan are also good choices.

Best RB might be Shaun Alexander, especially when NFL career is looked at.

Bart Starr also played for Bama.

DT was relentless, if he would’ve been dedicated to clean living as say Tim Tebow there’s no doubt he would have challenged LT as the best LB of all time....., which begs the question, how good would LT have been sans the coke habit?

Hell, maybe it was the drugs and partying that made them both HOF’ers. Lol!
