Just reminding you guys he isn't the man Fairley was in college. Not even close to Fairley level dominance.

Better than Dareaus in college though.

Good point. Being more dominant in the SEC is much more telling of a players abilities than his performance in the NFL. I agree.

Terrance Cody may possibly be the best DL I've ever seen in college. The guy could have been in the NFL hall of fame if he had better coaching.

Dude's contract had the most guaranteed money of any non QB in the history of the NFL

He's one of the best run stopping DTs in the game....AND led DTs in sacks last season. He's amazing. I won't say he's undesputed #1, but he's up there.

I have to agree with this.

Dareus' dominating performance in the NCG against the Longhorns sky-rocketed his draft stock.

But to his credit, he's only continued to get better.

Dareus would have hit the spin button and gotten into the endzone against the Vols. But yea, Robinson is pretty damn good.

That'd be quite an accomplishment. Dareus has been a dominant pro for the most part.


He certainly has a dominant contract.***

Dareus dropped a nuke on the UTexas football program and started the Alabama dynasty in the 2009 NCG.

Dareus completely destroyed the football program at the school that many want to say is the best coaching job in the country. 6 years and it's still in the crapper.

edit: Grundy, you beat me by mere seconds!

A'Shawn is the frick that blocked the XP right? I think he'll be better than Dareus.

That would be him. Pretty damn impressive. He thought about doing it on your previous FG.

The only way you guys can get Auburn into these types of conversations is by "just reminding you guys" about "insert Auburn player here".

He might have been better also in the 90's when run stuffers were more important.
