Not much debate with this list


Think I'd put Kenny Irons at #5.

Speaking of offensive linemen, Shawn Andrews is up there for Arkansas (All American OT in '02 and '03). Don't think I'd put him top 5 though.

Kenny Irons is one of the hardest runners I've ever seen. And in 2005, if Tuberville had taken his head out of his arse and started him the 1st 2 games, we would have been playing for in the BCS.

I know Kenny and his Dad, David, personally. And they would agree with you 100%.

Kenny Irons is one of the reasons Skip Holtz did not get a crack at the HC job here at SC.

I think I'll give David a call tomorrow and see how Junior and Kenny are doing.

Tough to balance talent and actual production, because we've had some very talented players wasted by coaching. Here it goes though, I'm sure many will disagree

1. Luke Joeckel
2. Johnny
3. Ryan Swope
4. Cyrus Gray
5. Ryan Tannehill

Several honorable mentions that could be in there as well. Tough to order 3-5 for me. Also Joeckel has been dominant for 2 years straight, and was great as a true freshman. JFF has had one spectacular season and will rise to #1 once he builds on that IMO

1. Johnny Football
2. Ryan Swope (great career)
3. Cyrus Gray
4. Ryan Tannehill (ugh)
5. Reggie McNeal/Mike Goodson/Jeff Fuller/Jerrod Johnson/Stephen McGee/Javorskie Lane

Man. We really don't have a lot of guys who can say they had a great career at A&M. A lot of players had great years early on and finished with bad years. Tough on legacy. Hopefully JFF can change that!

I think Trey Williams, Mike Evans, Brandon Williams, and RSJ all have the potential to be in that above group.

Almost did something like this as a honorable mention thing If it's just skill position players our lists are exactly the same I believe.

I thought if this more as a skill position question. He is definitely top 2 if OL is included. You have to put the Heisman winner at #1 in my opinion.

Yeah it's tough to order Joeckel and Manziel right now. Those 2 and Von are without a doubt our top 3 players of the last 10 years though IMO. I probably would have thrown Patrick Lewis and Jake Matthews in as HM. I wasn't sure if it was a skill position thing or not

Okay, I whittled it down to five:

Reggie Bush
Carson Palmer
Marqise Lee
Troy Polamalu
Clay Matthews III


Too many too list. Need at least 10.

ETA: Matt Leinart and Robert Woods.

Reading Is Fundamental.

Poster doesn't follow directions well or get along with the other children.
