Bo Jackson the greatest SEC athlete ever.
If we're talking pure athletic prowess I find it hard to argue anybody was better than Herschel (typical Georgia fan, I know). Walker is far better than Bo at football and a world-class athlete in other areas as well, albeit not one of the "big 3".

Nice list, but IMO Bernard King and Justin Gatlin have to go in the top 10 - probably in place of the women.
My list of Vols in no particular order
Eric Berry
Doug Atkins
Peyton Manning
Todd Helton
Al Wilson
Justin Gatlin
Monica Abbott
Chamique Holdsclaw
Reggie White
Carl Pickens

He'd be on the short list of most unstoppable Madden players. Tell me how you shut him down in Madden '95? You just couldn't.
Others on the list:
Ben Coates Madden 95
Barry Sanders Madden 95
Mike Vick circa 2002

Wasn't there a famous strong man from Auburn (funny last name that escapes me)?

Idk about the 40 time but the guy still looks like he's chiseled from stone.

Bill Kazmeier. Won World's Strongest Man competitions a few times in the 80s. Didn't actually go to Auburn, but lives here and ran Kaz Fitness until his ex-wife got it in the divorce. Now runs S.W.A.T. Gym in Opelika.
He too was a professional wrestler in WCW like Kevin Greene.

Yeah, he's new blood, but CP is one of the most impressive athletes I've ever seen with a football in his hands.

Thought about King and Allen Houston. But the two women deserve some consideration for their contributions. Also, Leonard Little, CP, and Johny Majors and of course Condrege. Somebody has to be left off with our history.
