Honeybadger could fit into this, I think.
Posted on 8/14/19 at 4:30 pm to jatebe
On another note, you would not be able to stop that first RB duo.
Posted on 8/14/19 at 5:09 pm to jatebe
I still have nightmares of Johnny Rogers in the 1972 Sugar Bowl.
Dude was something else.

No Honeybadger = list is shite

I see CBS prefers to have a lower yardage output per hand-off than higher.
Interesting.
Not good for team output, but interesting nonetheless.

I can't really argue with the list but they should have split it into 2 eras- the first 75 years and then the last 75 years. No Jim Thorpe or Doc Blanchard. A lot of the old two way players got shafted.
Posted on 8/14/19 at 7:10 pm to jatebe
got the wrong Woodson on the 2nd team
Posted on 8/14/19 at 7:19 pm to jatebe
I realize you cut and pasted, but Nebraska only has four players on the first team.
Dennis Dodd (CBS Sports) remains a dipshit.

Posted on 8/15/19 at 8:40 am to jatebe
Four best college RBs I ever saw in no particular order....
Barry Sanders
Bo Jackson
Marcus DuPree
O.J. Simpson

In the first & second teams combined, I see two (2) players from before 1960.
They should do a separate team for the era of single platoon football. Completely different sport.
