I've forgotten more college football since my post-Thanksgiving shite than you know bro. Just saying.

Quinton Coryatt was a great player.


Qc did this:

He was selected second team All-American and all-SWC, and also was named the SWC Defensive Player of the Year.

Dat did this:

quote:

In 1995, he was named Southwest Conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year. From 1996 to 1998, he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors three consecutive times. In 1997, he was named Aggies MVP. In 1998, he was named a consensus All-American by every awarding publication, won the Bednarik Award for College Defensive Player of the Year and the Lombardi Award for Outstanding College Lineman. Nguyen was also selected as a finalist for the Butkus Award . He was named Defensive Player of the Game for the 1998 Cotton Bowl after recording a bowl record 12 tackles, including 3 tackles for a loss, and an interception, which he lateraled to a teammate for a touchdown. Dallas Morning News named him Big 12 Male Athlete of the Year in 1998, and he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Big 12 Conference. He also won the Jack Lambert Award in 1998. In 2005 he was named to the Big 12 Conference's 10th Anniversary Team. In 2010, he was voted on to the AP All-Time Big 12 Team tying with former University of Texas player Derrick Johnson for most votes at linebacker (19 out of 20.) Nguyen is generally acknowledged as the best defensive player in Texas A&M football history and one of the greatest defensive players of all-time in the history of the Big 12 Conference.

FWIW I think most A&M fans agree that Dat is our best ever. Von might end up being the most well known once his NFL career is over though
