The list for this topic could be endless

You can choose any level of football and have a good quality discussion why your pick is the most dominant.

My top 2 for NFL and NCAA are:

Reggie White
Aaron Donald


Steve Entman at Washington was probably a tier above anyone
Ndamukong Suh probably only behind Entman as the guy.

As a group
The Miami team that had Stubbs, Brown, Kennedy
Bears 85 46 Defense team

Personally:
Glenn Dorsey his senior year at LSU

On TV:
Suh at Nebraska
The DT from UGA (the one that killed the assistant while drag racing) in the SECCG against Daniels in his first year

Suh

Probably the best football player I’ve seen play on television IMO

I’d have to agree in regards to NFL players I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Warren Sapp would suck up a lot of OL attention as well.

Reggie White would worry OCs so much that suddenly Clyde Simmons and Jerome Brown became household names.

Ndamukong Suh in college was like a grown man playing pop warner.

Glenn Dorsey but I am biased



N. Suh was insane. Nick Fairly had a crazy season.

Jadeveon Clowney was just wild

But did not mention Deacon? I never saw them play but grandpa would say people like Hampton and McMichael were nowhere near as good.

Another guy who could be in the conversation is Sam Adams when he was part of the Wrecking Crew. I hate that school and team, but damn they had some dudes in the 90's.

Somehow I got into my head as DT, instead of DL. If course, Deacon would qualify as a great.

Suh was dominant and so was Donald.

Nick Fairley was really good too. As is Quinnen Williams.

Bias opinion, but White. Watching him chuck OL with his hump move was a site to see.

Watching Suh in high school against 180 pound lineman from Southeast Portland was a sight to behold...

Clowney in college was crazy. That hit on the Michigan RB is legendary

Kennedy didn't play with Jerome Brown or Daniel Stubbs but Bill Hawkins and Russell Maryland (both 1st rd. picks) did along with Greg Mark who was a consensus All American. Cortez Kennedy belongs in any conversation about the most dominating DL ever.

Wasn't Kennedy a Sophomore JUCO transfer the last year of Stubbs and Brown? Or was he with Maryland and Medearis?
