Perhaps, but I think Derrick Thomas in his prime would hold his own today.

That was my point. In 1980 there weren't a lot of guys who reminded us of modern SEC players. Sure there were some freak exceptions like Herschel Walker and Reggie White but for the most part the players were smaller, slower, weaker and the playbooks were Pop Warner simple.

By 1990 that had changed

Derrick Thomas was a man amongst boys in college. He would stand out in any era before or since.

Michael Brooks from LSU as well. Both would be elite today.
