Domanick Williams (born Domanick Davis October 1, 1980) out of Breaux Bridge is not usually one of the names brought up. He just popped in my head and I thought I'd look up some stats.

2002 Second Team All-SEC All-Purpose (AP)
2002 Second Team All-SEC Return Specialist (SEC Coaches)
2002 Second Team All-SEC Running Back (SEC Coaches)
1999 Second Team Freshman All-America (The Sporting News)
1999 Freshman All-SEC (Knoxville News-Sentinel)

Ranked second in LSU history and third in SEC history with 5,743 all-purpose yards

so in a recognition thread, you can't even get his name right.

I'll always remember him and Rohan dominating Illinois in the Sugar Bowl.

Now there is the small issue of what is his last name.

I think he is 5th in SEC history, not 3rd. Behind

Faulk
McFadden
Abney
walker



LSU has 3 of the top 10 leaders in All Purpose yards

Faulk at 1
Davis at 5
D. Hilliard at 10

I always remembered him with his last name being "Davis". I admittedly did not know this until researched.

And he's actually a better dude than athlete.

Believe it or not his brother was almost just as good. Was for sure an SEC linebacker.

He was off to a really good start in his NFL career before the injuries. I remember seeing him at a Rockets game shortly after his 2nd or 3rd year with the Texans and couldn't help myself to giving him a nod and a 'Double D!' greeting. I guess he's Double D no more.

He does remind me of Guice a little.

Hokie Gajan was a good supplement to Charles Alexandra. Both backs were incredible. That's my first memories of going to games.

I loved the Double D as a punt returner

He was an awesome back. On turf he had his best games.

He did all that while sharing touches. But he was always one of the most consistent.
