4 more that I immediately thought of were Devin White, Marcus Spears, Skene, and Louis Coleman. Nearly impossible to narrow down to only 20...been so many amazing ones.

Malik Nabers did more for Football than Ben McDonald did for both his sports.

Josh Reed and Wendell Davis and Eric Martin did it before the league went pass happy. And Dalton Hilliard would be hard to leave off.

Ben is still a relevant and well known name in college and pro baseball and a successful broadcaster.

Will Nabers still be relevant in 35 years?

Crews should be higher than Walker, but both should be in the top 10
