Damn I forgot about Fitz. Vince Young was pretty amazing to watch in college too.

Hollywood · 03-28-2009, 11:47 AM

Damn I can't believe I forgot such an obvious one, the most dominant offensive lineman I have ever seen: Orlando Pace. What a ******* beast, would have loved to have seen him win the Heisman.

Non Michigan

Lavar Arrington is still the best college linebacker I've ever seen. Huge, fast, and had a complete "**** it" attitude. I remember this one play he made in '97 that got replayed endlessly, where he timed the snap, took a running start, and Superman-dived his way over the o-line just as the ball was getting snapped and blew up the play. He was Rey Maulagua, but wayyyy faster, more instinctive, and possibly with an even nastier attitude.

Matt Roth from Iowa was a sick college DE. Don't think he's done much in the pros, but he was really strong and had a great bullrush. He always looked like he was wrestling more than he was playing football.

Antwaan Randle El was fun as hell to watch at Indiana as a scrambling quarterback. Big (inaccurate) arm, insanely fast/quick, great moves, and was on such bad teams that he was basically given free reign to just do whatever he wanted in the offense. It was like watching someone really good play pickup football, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Ron Dayne+Aaron Gibson combo that Wisconsin had in the late 90's. The sheer novelty of a 400 pound guard blocking for a 300 pound running back was hilarious but effective. I remember Dayne getting like 50 carries a game.

I wanna add Jeff Samardzija, his last two seasons at ND were off the hook. And as much as I hate USC, Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarret were awesome there. Watching Elvis Dumervil at Louisville was pretty crazy as well.

Great call guys on Lavar Arrington, I can't believe I forgot about him; the reason I started this thread was because I like having this conversation with my friends, and Arrington is always one of the names I bring up first.

What a beast he was; the Lawrence Taylor of college football.

Mississippi State Player: Eric Moulds.

I started watching football in 1995 when i was 7 years old and though I only saw him play one year for the dawgs he was awesome and he was my favorite player growing up.

Non-Mississippi State player:

Charles Rogers: Though he was a huge flop, the guy was sick in College i remember him owning Notre Dame and was just in awe.

Good call on Rogers, thought he was a sure thing to be a pro bowler in the NFL. He was great.

Chris Spielman is one of my favorites ever. I also loved Patrick Willis, Alex Mack, Peyton Manning, I loved Marshawn Lynch.

gpngc · 03-29-2009, 01:30 AM

Funny thing about Charles Rogers is that he scored two touchdowns in his first NFL game...

The Minnesota backfield was always great (MB3/Maroney/Russell).

And Roy Williams (S) was amazing at OU.

Snoop Minnis lol- he and P.K. Sam were two of my personal favorites.

OneToughGame · 03-29-2009, 01:32 AM

I loved Tatupu at USC (was ecstatic when the Seahawks got him) I also loved watching Charles Woodson and Ron Dayne too.

I still hold the opinion that if Charles Rogers didn't suffer season-ending injuries 5 games into his first season and 3 plays into his second season, he would be just as good as Andre Johnson. The dude showed amazing potential before his injuries and weed problems. I mean c'mon, 6'3 217 with a 4.28? Those are Calvin measurables.

Then again, he had weed problems all throughout college, so maybe not...
