Watching the LSU/Oregon game on the SECN takeover, and got to thinking about it...

Who is the one player you enjoyed watching most in football that may not have been an all-star/nationally known, but that was a quality role player under the radar?

For me, it has to be Ryan Baker. (Yes, I'm a young'n! ) The guy was solid night in and night out, made very few mistakes, and was constantly making tackles.

Clearly overshadowed by PP7/TM7 & crew.

Ron Brooks, the GOAT dime back. Our 4th string corner was better than 90% of other teams starters.

Aw, man, i love any excuse to bring up Sammy Martin!

(Yeah, I'm old, get off my lawn, yada yada... but he defined the role of a Trindon Holliday type player)

Basketball- Rickey Blanton. You may disagree but he was really a role player, makes what he did here that much more impressive

Football- Trindon comes to mind first but Im sure there are others


Baseball- been awhile but Tookie Johnson or something way back when. might not be the right name
