Faneca of Mawae. D Bowe is doing work now though. 16 TDs this year, could be the NFL's next big receiver

Taylor is a Hall of Famer.
Mawae has been a great ambassador to the NFL.
Faneca has been solid.

Faulk has been worth his money.

Bowe is doing well.

And I am not saying that anyone is wrong saying those names...BUT...Please don't forget about...

Hands down "Bert Jones"

If we were to look at the pre-superbowl era.....

I'd go with W.A. Jones (Bert's Father) who played his freshman year at LSU! He was amazing with the Browns!

He wasn't the best, but he was something special.

Chief's safety Johnny Robinson. He was part of 58 championship team and Superbowl 4 where the Chief's routed the Vikings.

I say Tommy Casanova. He was named to the all 70s team. It wasn't his fault his team was in the same division as those great Steelers teams.




This is your answer with Kevin Faulk in 2nd.
