Dude was incredible.

Great player and person, but don't do this to this thread by stating he was the best in SEC history. That simply is not true. You should have just did a memorial thread.

I remember him wrecking havoc with the Packers growing up.

I got the chance to meet him when I was a trainer and he had come in to scout some kids for the Packers. Just a really down to earth, genuine guy. I was pretty heartbroken when he passed.

He was just on a different level.
You had to see it to believe it.

Reggie was a great player, but hardly the best the SEC has ever seen......
Bo and Herschel are two that come to mind. There are others.

Er'body stop bitching and recognize the MINISTER

Reggie was a hell of a player and an even greater guy, but his career at Tennessee would not have indicated the type of career he had in the NFL.

as previously said, I agree you can argue "greatest college player" blah, blah, blah. That's why I simply said 'Greatest Football Player'
Bo and Herschel are not in the same stratosphere.
