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.

Ranked the Number 7 Football player of all time by the NFL Network


I think the #9 rated player in NFL history could give him a run for his money:

Don Hutson


3x NFL Champion, 1936-1939-1944, NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, NFL 1930s All-Decade Team, 2× Joe F. Carr Trophy winner (1941, 1942), Green Bay Packers all-time leading Touchdown receptions leader with 99, Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, Green Bay Packers #14 Retired

Practically invented the position of WR. Most of his records stood for years until Jerry Rice broke them. Even after almost 70 years, some of his receiving records still stand.

He also had a VERY productive career when he played in the SEC at Alabama.

if the Heisman started 1 year before it actually did, Hutson would have easily won it his senior year.

The Best Football Player in SEC History turned 20 a couple days before winning the Heisman a couple weeks ago.

I posted a picture of a dead guy, same as you.

ETA: Also...if the NFL can rank a player who played before de-segregation, why can't we?

Reggie was an all-time great, but he's not even the best from UT.
