If people like this make the top 10 it's time to shorten the list to top 5.

He did once throw an awesome flea flicker when Bobby pretended to be injured on the previous play.

Without looking it up.... What college did Fred Mcafee go to?
Posted on 7/7/16 at 6:55 pm to TechDawg2007
Mississippi College, I believe

I ain't gonna lie--I felt dirty putting Keno Hills on the list. But it's either that or put Marc Bulger and J.T. O'Sullivan, who never played with the Saints, on the list.

You are correct, sir 
Posted on 7/8/16 at 1:23 pm to lsutigers1992
I seem to remember Keno Hills as the guy who held Willie Roaf's glasses while the offense was on the field. So there's that.

Both Johnnie Poe and Floyd Turner were better players than Fred McAfee, and that's not really a knock on Fred

Fred McAfee was great

I love Fred but I'd have to choose a productive WR or CB over a really good ST gunner

When comparing that really good ST player to a one hit wonder at WR or an okay CB, it was close. Turner didn't do anything of note besides 1991. Poe was a serviceable CB but nothing special.
I gave it to McAfee out of respect. The guy was an average talent at best who found a niche and almost played 2 decades. If he wasn't the best at special teams coverage in the 90's-00's in the league, the list was short ahead of him.

Johnnie Poe was better than serviceable. He started at CB for us for 5 or 6 years. He was a good player.
Turner was considered a future breakout player and was getting national attention when he tore his knee up. I was happy for him when he fought back to be a productive WR for the Colts.
Like I said, I have nothing against Fast Freddy. We can agree to disagree.
