Lol. Showing my age but as far as who I played against. Gabe Northern , Warrick Dunn and Kevin Franklin. Baseball would be Todd Walker.

Old school, but the best I saw was Derrick Thomas. Unblockable. And still would be today.

High school- Dobbs slightly over Carl Lawson. Lawson was good but his high school team just wasn't and he never really stuck out. Peyton Barber would have been if he was ever healthy in high school.

College- Either Fournette or Knowshon Moreno. Both ran all over us.

Pro- Idk Julio I guess. Haven't gone to many Nfl games.

If you saw Cam play a college game, he is your choice for best CFB player you've seen in person.

Not really debatable

College:

adrian Peterson

But I draw a line at playmaker.... And that title goes to Johnny Frucking Football. Average athlete is the best on the field if he can make plays.

NFL: jj watt he is top 1% of all football players

High School - Adrian McPherson. Played in Bradenton was Mr Basketball and Mr Football in Florida his senior year. Purely dominant seeing him in person even with a ton of other talent on the field / court.

Well, my curiosity is hooked. What did he do in college?

High school: Played against Ty Slanina (current WR for TCU), kid ran a 4.38 and played QB in the Slot T. Find his tape on YouTube and I'm in there getting shook out of my cleats TWICE.
Was going to be at A&M but sumlin didn't honor his offer when he came in.

College: homer answer of Johnny, watched every home game plus arky twice. You just couldn't look away for fear of missing his next big moment. Non Homer answer of LF7 for the same exact reason.

Nfl: JJ Watt or Ladanian Tomlinson when I was too young to appreciate what I was watching.
