Ole Miss -- Charlie Conerly
Missouri -- Dan Dierdorf
Miss State -- DD Lewis

I'm late so I know most of the obvious have been selected. I kinda sorta tried to commingle college and pro career.

Changing my MSU vote to Blondy Black.

Feature back of MSU's only undefeated season of '41.
2x All SEC back, 41 and 42.

Ahead of his time as the first of the big backs - 200lb RB who was also the fastest man on the team. 3 year letterman in track

I'd put charlie trippi over Tarkenton.

Hell... I may put David Pollack over Tark because of his 3 time All-American status.

Missouri -- Dan Dierdorf


While Dierdorf played his pro football in the State of Missouri for the football Cardinals, he went to college at Michigan. He's still the color man on Michigan football radio broadcasts.

Not that anyone here cares about Missouri, but I'd go Kellen Winslow. Mel Gray, Roger Wherli and Chase Daniel honorable mention.

I think Derrick Thomas is probably nearly unanimous among Bama fans who know what he did.


RIP Derrick. Only Chiefs game I was able to go to while in KC was his seven sack game. Amazing. Almost as amazing was that KC somehow still managed to lose the game. Derrick was SO close to #8 on the last play of the game. LINK

Dafuq?

Elmendorf isn't even in the top 5 safeties to ever play for A&M.

I would put (in no particular order) Lester Hayes, Terrence Kiel, Marcus Buckley, Melvin Bullitt and Armani Watts all above Elmendorf.

Also, for pure offense, I would put both Darren Lewis and Leeland McElroy above Manziel.

As a starting quarterback, Major Pullig (Corey Pullig is currently a Major in the Marine Corps) compiled a 41-6-1 record.
