While I don't think you can dub any one player as the GOAT in any league, especially the SEC, Derrick Thomas would be as deserving as any.
This.
There is just no realistic way to compare the greatest players across positions. But to say that Thomas is a serious candidate for that label is not a joke. All the people laughing at the thought are immediately suggesting offensive skill players, as if this were a Heisman discussion.

I understand you can't compare positions that easily, but the biggest difference is the impact that an offensive player can make compared to one defensive player. One defensive player cannot win you games, or carry you to national championships. The best offensive players can. I definitely think Thomas is a top 3 defensive player in the SEC all time, but to say he is the greatest overall player is a little ridiculous to me.
