I have never seen one player impact a game like DT. Julio is one of my favorite players and glad that he is or at least was leading the NFL in receiving. DT is among the very best all time to play his position.

Hannah
Hutson
DT


Any of these is the correct answer.

If he continues to have success he could pass Hutson as the best WR Bama has produced.

Hutson had a lot more of the NFL records before Jerry Rice broke them.

Wow, this is a loaded statement and there are a lot of wonderful players from LSU and BAMA in the NFL highlight reels

Younger fans need to remember guys like Joe N. and Tommy C.

The last 40 years are riddled with players for both schools. Not trying to start a thread on who has more and I could care less. This is about talented athletes and I love it

Julio was great. The greatest, I must differ.

Leroy Jordan comes to mind. A smaller version of LT. Bear said: "If he stays in bounds, Leroy will get him.

Pound for pound the hardest hitter I have ever seen, period.

Few players I would pay my way in just to see them play and Bama has so many.

Joe Willie, Musso, my favorite, Pat Trammel. You younger kids should have seen Pat will the Tide down the field.

Too many to say who was the best.

Derrick Thomas and John Hannah are the best.

Too bad he played with JPW and GM, neither one could throw the ball down the field.

I couldn't agree more with this. I wish he would have played with AJ.

Leroy had 31 tackles against Oklahoma in the 63' Orange bowl. Think about that for a moment. 31 friggin tackles in one game. He was unblockable.

I know they did not like one another and the hatred was legit for whatever reason. I have seen interviews with both and they both would answer no comment when the subject came up but you could sense the dislike.

Even if they could, Julio would've dropped it. #overratedfag

Top 3 WRs in the NFL (stat wise) are from the SEC. Green, Jones, Cooper..... OBJ, Evans, and Landry also in the top 10.

Julio is the greatest to play the position at Alabama since as long as I've been watching.

If you want to tell me he's the greatest player of the Saban era, I can go along with that.

Derrick Thomas was great--but I think it's harder to stand out there at Alabama--we are LBU, and we've had some great ones.

Wide Recievers? Not so much. Julio transformed that recruiting class, and transformed the position. His work ethic, his blocking, his effort--did you ever see him STEP out of bounds?

Dude was beast and he was at the vanguard of our return to prominence and I can easily put him on them mount rushmore of GOATS at Bama.

John Hannah was the greatest player ever to grace an offensive line. He is still to this day regarded as the best offensive lineman to play pro ball as well. This man stands alone in Alabama history.

Lee Roy Jordan was next. 31 friggin tackles in the Orange bowl against Oklahoma. 31 dawg. Dudes don't get 31 tackles in a career.
While playing for the cowboys he intercepted 3 passes in the first qtr against the eagles and had 21 tackles in the game as well.

We will never see better players than these two.
