Offense: Bo Jackson or Cam Newton.
It's a toss up and you can't go wrong with either one. Two of the greatest ever, at any school.
Defense: this one is a little more difficult. I think there are 4 guys who are all deserving.
Based on college: Tracy Rocker- Consensus All-American,(2x All-American, 3x All-SEC), 2x SEC Champ, won the Lombardi and Outland Awards.
Based on NFL: Kevin Greene- Hall of Fame. 5x Pro Bowl. 3x First Team All-Pro. 2x NFL sack leader. 1996 NFL DPOY. 90's NFL All-Decade Team. Super Bowl Champ
Based on College AND NFL together: Carlos Rogers- Consensus All-American. Thorpe Award winner. 1st Team SEC, SEC All-Freshmen team, 2nd in SEC history in pass deflections with 40. SEC Champ, Sugar Bowl Champ, undefeated season. Top 10 draft pick. 10 NFL seasons. 1x Pro Bowl. 1x All-Pro
Honorable Mention: Takeo Spikes- 15 years in the NFL and one of the best, hardest hitting, most feared LBs in the NFL for at least 10 of those years.
Top 15 draft pick. 2x Pro Bowl. 1x First Team All-Pro. Over 1400 career tackles, twice as meant as Greene. And 19 career INT to Rogers' 17
But most NFL games in history without ever making the playoffs. He's a borderline Hall of Fame. Will definitely get km the ballots and be in consideration. Has a chance at the Hall of Fame, but the whole no playoffs thing could keep him out, however unfair that my be for a LB

GTFO
Barrett Jones won a shite ton of awards because he was the face of a dynasty for 3 years with a 4.0 GPA. He was a media darling. He was reliable and a great player, but never elite or dominant.

John Hannah is considered one of the greatest lineman of all time. No, Barret is not better.

Also not 100% true. CFB didn't keep track of sacks back then, it wasn't an official NCAA stat. Schools kept unofficial track. But they didn't award half sacks like we do today. So basically if 3 players combined to take down a QB, all 3 players got awarded 1 sack.
Don't get me wrong, DT had an all-time great season that year, but 27 sacks is definitely an embellishment.

Steve Atwater's by far my favorite Razorback of all time.

Tommy Casanova was a fantastic player. If he had decided to continue playing football in the NFL, everyone would know.

Beattie Feathers/George Cafego.
"Feathers played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) with the Chicago Bears, Brooklyn Dodgers, and Green Bay Packers from 1934 to 1940. In his rookie season of 1934 he became the first player in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards in one season.[2] His average of 8.44 yards per attempt that same year remains an NFL record (minimum 100 carries)."
"(Cafego)He went to the University of Tennessee as a halfback under coach Robert Neyland. While there, he compiled 2,139 total yards and two All-American team selections. He was also a finalist for the Heisman Memorial Trophy. In addition to running and passing the ball, Cafego also served as punter and kickoff returner, excelling at both."
Al Wilson.
After he ruined Arky's undefeated season in 1998.
