For me, my two favorite players to come out of the SEC that didn't attend Mizzou happen to both be Volunteers.

Being an avid Chiefs fan, Eric Berry is easily #1. Attacks every thing and everyone at 100% and what he went through and how he keeps coming back with a vengeance is amazing.

The other player is Inky Johnson. That man can get me through any personal struggles by just listening to him speak.

Vols had some great characters come through that program. Life champions.

I liked watching Marcus Lattimore and Cadillac Williams a lot back in the day. Also was a huge Tebow fan for more reasons than football

I hated him but couldn’t stop watching Manziel when he played. Unreal

Several:

Tim Tebow-Fl
Terry LeCount-Fl
Bo Jackson-AU
Pat Sullivan-AU
Terry Beasley-AU
Tommy Casanova-LSU
Bert Jones-LSU
George Rice-LSU
Dalton Hilliard-LSU
Reggie White-Tennessee
Marcus Lattimore-USC

Those are most of them, although I'm sure I have forgotten a couple.

I like Fournette and will always remember fondly his gesture during the floods here.

Herschel and Bo ... always liked both of them a lot.

Tim Tebow it goes without saying. Met him for thr first time last year while he was here playing for the Fireflies and the guy has an aura about him. He is just a good person.

Most fans around here are probably not old enough to remember, but UGA had this guy back in 1980 named Scott Woerner ... he will always be one of my favorites. Loved watching that guy play the game and especially return punts.

Not about one athlete in particular but about a group as a whole ...

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the following because few people know about this. Back when we had those floods and a lot of us locals were scrambling to find things families needed in the aftermath, one day my Son and I were helping unload some trucks full of food and water and blankets, etc., and up pulls this truck, loaded-down with stuff ... it was a truck all the way from College Station. The Student-Athletes at A&M had gotten together and raised something like $50k to fill that truck full of goods for people. I don't think it ever got any press that I remember, but it was loaded with care and there were a lot of nice letters and cards attached to things from A&M.

So cudos to all of A&M for that. The people here were in real need and Obama did not come to our rescue ... but a lot of fans around the SEC did and this truck from A&M will always stand out in my mind because I was standing there when it opened. It was well thought-out and right on time.

Connor Shaw from USC is the first to come to mind. I just loved the way he played the game.

The outside urinal in a historic spot is such a nice touch. Watching my piss flow down those granite and marble steps is something I'll never forget.
