Derek Thomas still has the most sacks in a single season (27). Let that sink in. He did that in 1988.

Also most kids in a single season (7). Let that sink in.

You have to figure Derrick Henry probably gets in both. Trying to think who else might be out there with a shot. Devonta Smith probably gets in the CFB HOF, but still a long ways to go to make the NFL one.

Emmitt Smith is in both. That's probably it for UF.

Will Witten be a hall of famer?


You have to be selected as an All American to have a chance at the College Football HOF.

College Football HOF would have to change their rules. You have to be a first team All American. Believe he was second team only.

What exactly has Joe Burrow done to indicate he is having a Hall of Fame career?


It's not a qualification, but it is a big time help in getting voted in.

Being an All Pro.

Joe has not done it.

Aggies have one in the Pro HOF - Yale Lary

and 12 in the College Football HOF

We have a few that will be in the Pro HOF in a few years - Myles Garrett, Von Miller, and Mike Evans. And the fact that Richmond Webb is not in the Hall is a crime. If another punter ever gets voted in then Shane Lechler has a shot. Not to mention Lester Hayes.

Sterling Sharpe became the first Gamecock to be inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame back in February.

I don’t think State has any. Jackie Parker is probably the closet.
College Football Hall of Fame
Canadian Football Hall of Fame.

Shorty McWilliams at State in an unrelated accolade is the only SEC RB in history to be first team All-SEC four times (1944,1946, 1947,1948)
Oh he was the third RB in the Army backfield in 1945 with Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard and still finished in the top 10 Heisman vote (eighth) and Army was the NC that year.

Well he was in CFB the same time as Deion and Bennie Blades.

NCAA 1st team AA DBs:
1986: Thomas Everett (Baylor), Tim McDonald (USC), Rod Woodson (Purdue), Bennie Blades (Miami), Garland Rivers (Michigan)
1987: Bennie Blades (Miami), Deion Sanders (FSU), Rickey Dixon (OU), Chuck Cecil (Arizona)
1988: Deion Sanders (FSU), Donnell Woolford (Clemson) Darryl Henley (UCLA), Louis Oliver (UF)

Amazing Bart Starr, Stabler, Namath are not. Only three QB’s not named Manning from the SEC to win a superbowl, until Jalen. 4 Bama QB’s.
