re: Tyrann Mathieu may be the best pound for pound football player of all time

1) His negative yardage carries are counted in that 2800 yd total.

You completely miss the point. It’s not able the total yards he lost. It’s about how often he put his offense behind the chains.

2) OSU went 10-2 that year. That's pretty dang good.

They were pretty good that year, and he was in believable. But his game was much more suitable for the college game at that time than the NFL, where you have to be able to pass the ball. Not like now, but you still had to more back then than I’m college. But since this is a thread about college, Barry is certainly in the conversation. I’m sure he weighed a good bit more than Tyrann, but he was so good that he’s still in the best “pound for pound” discussion.
