re: Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, Tim Tebow,..........Kevin Faulk

Faulk is rightfully an LSU legend. His legend isn't nationwide b/c...

1. His teams weren't as good as Bo & Herschel's. That's one reason McFadden slips a bit in the "legend" rankings.
2. The Heisman consideration helps Bo, Hershel & DMAC. Faulk was always in the shadow of Manning or Weurffel.
3. Faulk's impressive stat is that he's the SEC leader in All-Purpose yards. It's an impressive record, but it'll never be as sexy as the rushing title. It's like leading MLB in on-base percentage is not nearly as sexy as the home-run record.
4. Bo was a two-sport professional. Unbelievable!
5. Bo, Hershel were impressive physical specimens. Today, over 20 years after their prime, it's a bit more common to see guys their size who can run that fast. In their day, it was extremely rare. Remember when "The Fridge" made a splash in 1985 when he played at over 300 lbs? Today everybody has a "Fridge"...and a "Kitchen"...and a "House". Faulk had a less impressive scatback physique.
