I read a post last week that said Pat Peterson was the best we ever had. I believe Chad Jones is the best we ever had

Tommy Casanova is in the conversation as is Billy Cannon.

Even though he only played one sport here, OBJ gets my nod. Dude is just a freak athlete.

Natural physical ability and talent, I'd say PP7.

Chad was freakish two sport athlete.

Casanova and Cannon were way before my time so I have no educated opinion.

Shaq has to be an honorable mention, just based on shear size and professional attributes.

For pure explosive athleticism, hard to beat Tyrus Thomas.

When I think of great athlete, I think about multiple sport guys...chad Jones, Jared Mitchell, etc. Ben McDonald was a two sport guy. Who else?
