Head caoch: Steve Spurrier

QB: Peyton Manning. Followed by Danny Wuerffel

RB: Kevin Faulk, Emmitt Smith

WR: Ike Hilliard, Josh Reed, Percy Harvin

DL: Reggie White, Tracy Rocker, Glen Dorsey, John Henderson

LB: Cornelius Bennett, Derrick Thomas, Patrick Willis, Al Wilson

DB: Champ Bailey

Not a complete list for all positions, but those are players that I have enjoyed over the decades. Not everyone is going to recognize all of the names, but some names might recall some great memories and moments for some posters.

Those two were quite likely the best, just not my favorites. The guys I chose made me a fan of the opposition and I really enjoyed watching them.

As for my favorites, was torn between Alex Brown and Kearse.

Thinking about changing TE to Lutzie.

Yeah, as the years pass there are more names to list each passing season.

By the time Alabama's stud OT leaves I will have fond memories of him and 20 years from now I could look back and list him on this type of list.

My favorite SEC player ever was Peyton Manning. I watched every single play of his when he was in college.

We should start a thread asking for people to list their all-time favorite players per position regardless of conference.

After that MFer shredded us, every Bama fan should have Josh Reed on his list at WR. Dude is still catching passes on us, I think.
